Scientific and educational research laboratory (NUIL) “Elektronika-Orion” was created with the aim of combining the efforts of the teaching staff, researchers, doctoral students, graduate students, masters and students of the Department of Physical Education and Science of the Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine and scientists of the Scientific and Research Institute “ORION” (Kiev) for applied research aimed at creating new promising devices and devices in the microwave and optical range, including their mathematical modeling and design, as well as experimental prototyping of electronic products.
Research directions
- computer modeling of physical processes in electronic devices in the microwave and terahertz ranges, the interaction of optical radiation with photonic crystal structures and metamaterials, including graphene-like ones;
- the use of microwave energy in technological processes;
- development of physical and technical foundations for creating a sulfur laser;
- development of nonreciprocal photonic devices that form the basis for insulators, including topological ones;
- development of specialized software for calculating and visualizing the characteristics of terahertz and optical devices;
- application of microwave technologies in medicine and technology.
Science and educational process
All scientific directions of the laboratory are associated with educational programs that are taught at the Department of Physical and Electronic Engineering. First of all, this concerns the master’s educational programs: “Laser and Optoelectronic Engineering” and “Photonics and Optoinformatics”. The subject of master’s qualification works is related to the main scientific directions of the laboratory. The results of the work of undergraduates and bachelors are reported at the annual Forum “Radioelectronics and Youth in the XXI Century”, which is held in KNURE, as well as at various scientific and technical conferences in Ukraine and abroad.

Scientific seminars
On the basis of the laboratory, scientific seminars are held, the topics of which touch on topical problems of modern science and technology and refer to the main scientific directions of the laboratory. In particular, thematic seminars on the topic of modeling modified photonic-crystal and Breg waveguides (graduate student Sashkova Ya.V.), development of diffraction antennas (Prof. O. Vertiy), randomization of microwave radiation and its use for plasma heating (Prof. V. Buts), modeling the latest devices in the terahertz range (Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences O. Kuleshov), development of gradient mirrors for terahertz lasers (prof. Ye. Odarenko), modern problems of a computational experiment and its implementation in microwave photonics (assoc. prof. T. Frolova).
