Coordinated by Benoit Cluzel, Senior Lecturer in Physics at the University of Burgundy (UB, member of UBFC), this project combines a very high level of scientific excellence and complementary expertise among the members of the Carnot Interdisciplinary Laboratory of Bourgogne (ICB, Joint Research Unit 6303 CNRS-UBFC), and the FEMTO-ST Institute (Franche-Comté Electronics, Mechanics, Thermics and Optics – Sciences and Technologies, UMR 6174 CNRS-UBFC).
The project will merge the photonics platforms of ICB and FEMTO-ST into a shared platform open to scientific and industrial communities working in the field of photonics and artificial intelligence. More than 120 scientists will develop cutting-edge research in nano-optics, ultrafast photonics, fiber optics, nonlinear photonics, quantum optics and telecommunications.
