ALPhANOV

ALPhANOV, the Technology center of the ALPHA-RLH, le pôle français des ondes de l'innovation, supports innovation from its optics and lasers expertise. Its actions aim to: 📌Help the creation and development of businesses by bringing innovative technological solutions;  📌Assist in the valorization of research laboratories and in the technology transfer process; 📌Build-up collaborative projects, bring technologies to maturity and accelerate products to market; 📌Provide resources and services in the field of optics and lasers. #photonics #optics #laser #fiber #components #systems #LaserProcesses #training

🎬 2024 wrapped As the year draws to a close, our center takes a look back on the events in which we took part. From Bordeaux to San Francisco, each of our departments had the opportunity to present their products, services and solutions, all tailored to meet the needs of each customer. 🤝 Our experts also shared their know-how and highlighted their work through various conferences and presentations. We look forward to seeing you in January 2025 👉 https://lnkd.in/dAE_PmZM #2024ends #photonique

Reaching for the clouds and beyond... ☁ Laser processing and more specifically, surface engineering is at the core of ALPhANOV’s identity. This is how we were able to show our expertise in the first place. Year after year, our team members have pushed the limits of what photonics can do. We have developed new laser processing for machining new materials, with ever more complex shapes and challenging scales. ✨ This demonstration piece is the legacy of this unique know-how. Each side of this tower is made up of samples of materials and processing that we are able to produce, and which have enabled spectacular advances in terms of productivity, quality of finish and, more broadly, have transformed many industries.

A new example of collaboration between ALPhANOV and XLIM 🤝 In an article entitled “1.8mJ pulses at 1560nm based on a 55μm core pure-erbium-doped VLMA fiber” published in Optics Letters, team members of ALPhANOV and XLIM present a study on the innovative use of the powder in suspension synthesis method to fabricate a double-clad fiber doped solely with erbium. The synergy between the laboratory and the center, both specialized in high-power, high-energy lasers, opens the way to significant advances in the field of optical fibers, with potential applications in space and defense. 🚀 Have a look on this publication 👉 https://lnkd.in/dfkJRKN6 #collaboration #opticalfibers #space #defense

XIMED serving tomorrow's healthcare ✨ Najia TAMDA, Market Strategy Director of XIMED is present today at the Grand Palais in Lille for the 3rd edition of the CHU HealthTech Connexion Day. 👋 This event is dedicated to strengthening the complementarity between CHU and Medtech companies, in order to accelerate access to promising innovations for the benefit of patients and healthcare systems. An opportunity to discover this promising startup whose products for the early diagnosis of breast cancer are based on a patented phase contrast imaging technology. #DeepTech #BreastCancer #PhaseContrastImaging #CHUHealthTechDay France Biotech, Directeurs généraux de CHRU

Comment revaloriser les matières premières dans le secteur de la Photonique ? ♻ Cette question est au cœur d’une étude menée par des étudiants de Arts et Métiers ParisTech en collaboration avec notre centre technologique, dans le cadre de leur parcours académique. 🤝 La Région Nouvelle-Aquitaine suit avec attention ces travaux qui s’inscrivent pleinement dans le cadre de ses ambitions liées aux transitions énergétiques et environnementales « Neo Terra ». L’impact environnemental des chaînes de fabrication ne peut plus être ignoré, d’autant plus dans un secteur en plein essor. C’est pourquoi une étude sur le recyclage et la valorisation des composants photonique a été initiée, afin d’évaluer les stratégies de valorisation : nouvelle filière, structure existante (DEEE)... #DeveloppementDurable #EconomieCirculaire #Photonique #ArtsetMetiers #NouvelleAquitaine

We told you we'd see you next summer... ⏳ Last July saw the first International Photonics Talent Summer School, an event dedicated to welcoming new R&D talent into the Région Nouvelle-Aquitaine, renowned for being a leading-edge territory in photonics field. A look back at the first edition 👉 https://lnkd.in/dRD9bzEM This Summer School provided an enriching experience, laying the foundation for a key annual event for the photonics community. The organizing team and the scientific committee are therefore pleased to announce the renewal of this operation in summer 2025. 🎉 🚨 Mid-July, the 2nd International Photonics Talent Summer School will be held in Bordeaux, France. Masters and Ph. D. students, stay tuned as the program will be announced very soon. This action is organized as part of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Photonics TALENT project. #SummerSchool #PhotonicsTalent #France2030 ALPHA-RLH, le pôle français des ondes de l'innovation ; Amplitude Laser ; Exail ; TOPTICA Photonics.

Can laser sintering enhance the conductivity of printed metal traces ❔ In an article published on IEEE, team members of CTTC: Centre de Transfert de Technologies Ceramiques, XLIM and ALPhANOV have investigated laser sintering of metal traces printed with nScrypt technology on a PEKK substrate, achieving a DC conductivity of 12.7% of silver's bulk conductivity in a shorter time than conventional thermal treatment. Multilayer planar resonators showed a 26% improvement in quality factor with laser sintering compared to no sintering. 🔎 This scientific publication, entitled “Optimization of electrical conductivity of multilayer additively manufactured microwave components on polymer substrate by Laser sintering” has its origins in the LAUNCH project, which ended earlier this year.
