R&D Projects

Internal R&D project (Brittany Region) A project designed to provide innovative solutions for tomorrow’s agriculture (plant health and water status diagnostics). A plant’s photosynthetic activity is strongly linked to its nitrogen or water supply. Our objective: To study the chlorophyll fluorescence induced by photosynthesis reactions in order to explore the many physiological parameters of C3

Collaborative project (Brittany Region) A project aimed at assessing the performance of near-field remote sensing measurements for plant characterisation (e.g. estimation of chlorophyll content, quantification of the plant area index (PAI), etc.). The goal is to mount photonic instruments on UAVs. Two optical paths are being studied: an active path (multispectral lidar) and a passive

A maturation project to study the technical and commercial feasibility of this innovative hyperspectral imaging solution at a reasonable cost. Our objective: To develop hyperspectral imaging technologies for use in agriculture and launch an entrepreneurial project.

An R&D project aimed at providing a portable solution for field validation of the quality of fodder and cereals used specifically in equine feed. Our objective: To develop and qualify a visible – near infrared reflectance spectral analysis tool for a specific use case (equine nutrition).

A project linked to our regional agri-food ecosystem, enabling photonic technologies to be disseminated in a key application area in the region.. Our objective: To study the ageing of food matrices using vibrational Raman spectroscopy of free/bound water.
