Short description of company
Our institute was founded by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 1951 as part of the
Central Research Institute for Physics. In 1992 we became an independent institute under
the name of Research Institute for Solid State Physics. The present profile of the institute
took shape in 1998 when the Crystal Physics Laboratory of the Hungarian Academy of
Sciences joined us, and our name changed to Research Institute for Solid State Physics and
Optics.
The primary mission of the institute is conducting basic research in the fields of theoretical
and experimental solid state physics and materials science including metal physics, crystal
physics and liquid crystal research, theoretical and experimental optics including laser
physics, quantum optics and the interaction of light with matter. Our experimental research
activity is connected to unique methodologies like X-ray diffraction, NMR-, Mössbauer-,
and optical spectroscopy and neutron scattering experiments at the Budapest Neutron
Centre. Some of our research activities are closely related to applications, e.g., in the fields
of optical thin films, laser applications, crystal growing technologies and metallurgy.
