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
Collaborative project A project to develop optical fibres and components that are 100% “Made in France” and that can operate in extreme environments (radiation, temperature etc.). Our objective: To develop optical fibres with metallic and carbon coatings. Partners: Exail, SEDI-ATI, TechnicAtome, EDF, Photonics Bretagne
Collaborative project A project to develop multicolour analyses adapted to fluorescence microscopy, with applications in pathology analysis (cancer) and associated therapy research. Our objective: To develop a PM-connectorised broadband optical fibre adapted to the 320nm-900nm range. Partners: OXXIUS, IDIL, la plateforme Biosit-Mric, Photonics Bretagne
Collaborative project A unique bi-regional project between Brittany and Wallonia to develop stress-insensitive temperature sensors for aeronautical, maritime and space applications. Our objective: To develop a new technology, unique in France, for manufacturing Bragg gratings on multicore fibres during fibre drawing. Partners: JDC Innovation, Open Engineering, Multitel, Pixer sur Mer, Photonics Bretagne
Collaborative project An R&D project aimed at reducing fuel consumption and hence engine pollution in the aeronautical industry. Our objective: To develop a new type of hollow-core fibre to improve the sensitivity of gas sensors. Partners: IDIL Fibres Optiques, Institut FOTON, Souriau by Eaton, Photonics Bretagne
