A little light Listening is a new podcast where we cover the latest developments in science and technology that are based on the use of light. This regular podcast features experts for Ireland and around the world and we will be exploring a broad range of technology areas including how light is used in medicine, space and communications. We will also be reaching out to our community in advance of each podcast to get questions and comments which we will put to the guests during the show.

Episode 1 - LiDAR – In this podcast we discuss a LiDAR, or Light Detection and Ranging technology, that is being used in many aspects of everyday life including self-drive vehicles, land mapping, meteorology and also for looking back in time at how ancient civilisations lived using digital archaeology.
