Collaborative project (Horizon Europe) The EU funded project, SEADEEP (Sustainable Energy Advancement through Digitalisation for Energy Efficient Production in Aquaculture and Fisheries), aims to accelerate the transition towards a sustainable blue bioeconomy, in particular by reducing emissions linked to marine food production. energy-efficient digital solutions are being developed for fisheries, aquaculture, and macroalgae cultivation in […]
Collaborative project (AMI Carnot, Carnot AgriFood Transition) System for the temporal monitoring of inorganic elements in agriculture and algal cultivation. Our objective: To develop an optical instrument for measuring the concentration of nutrients in terrestrial plants (e.g. cucumber, maize and potato) and in algae. Based on the analysis of the signal backscattered by the sample,
Ressourcement Project (Brittany Region) Multiphoton excitation microscopy for imaging organic samples. Our objective: This project aimed to demonstrate the capability and efficiency of a parametric source (developed by our Fibre team) in exciting fluorophores in non-linear microscopy (2- or 3-photon). Our biophotonics team is responsible for designing and assembling the microscope, as well as carrying
Internal R&D project (Region Bretagne) The research project MISPEL (Microscopy using Optical Parametric Sources for Nonlinear Imaging) aims to provide sovereign technological solutions to challenges in healthcare and biomedicine. Our objective: To develop a multiphoton microscope based on a fiber-coupled parametric source for observing low-contrast biological elements that require high spatial resolution.
Internal R&D project (Region Bretagne) The project HOPEX (Hollow core OPtical fibers for EXtreme environments) seeks to offer technological solutions to innovation and sovereignty challenges in the nuclear and space sectors. Our objective: To develop hollow core fibres combined with metallic coatings to address markets in extreme environments (temperature and radiation).
Collaborative project The uCAIR (Ultra-fast Chemical Analysis Imaging with Raman) project is funded by the EU (HORIZON-CL4-2023-DIGITAL-EMERGING) and brings together than 11 partners. It aims to enable real-time cancer diagnosis using biomarker signatures in biological tissues and fluids. Our objective: Developing new micro-structured optical fibres, particularly for generating coherent supercontinuum signals. Partners: University of Limerick
