Département SPThématiques de rechercheActivité « Optique Guidée et Capteurs »

The Photonic Systems (SP) department has extensive expertise in integrated photonics, developing optical materials and integrated photonic circuits, while investigating their design and fabrication to implement on-chip optical functions. For this purpose, the team relies on the Nano and CCLO Microtechnology Platform.

Current research activities focus on integrated photonic technologies based on chalcogenide glasses, porous silicon- and germanium-based semiconductors, polymers, silicon oxynitride (SiON), and diamond. These materials are exploited for their unique optical properties in applications including photonic sensing, optical communications, light sources, and quantum photonics.
