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
Internal R&D project An internal R&D project designed to provide sovereign technological solutions to meet the challenges of the ecological transition, in particular the energy efficiency of new-generation photonic components. Our objective: Development of a new generation of energy-efficient optical fibres and associated components for quantum telecommunications systems and sensors.
Collaborative project A bi-regional project between Brittany and Wallonia on laser texturing of large surfaces (aircraft wings) to improve aerodynamics and therefore reduce CO2 emissions. Our objective: To develop a tapered, PM, ytterbium-doped active fibre and a module interfacing it with one of our laser offset fibres. Partners: LASEA, Multitel, GDTech, Cailabs, Photonics Bretagne
Collaborative project A project using DWDM optical transmission in the O+E bands to increase the transmission rate on the existing telecoms network. Our objective: To develop bismuth-doped optical fibres for telecom amplifiers. Partners: Ekinops, Orange, IDIL Fibres Optiques, Laboratoire Phlam, Le Verre Fluoré, Photonics Bretagne
