Alpes Lasers

Alpes Lasers, set up by Jerome Faist, Antoine Muller and Mattias Beck in 1998, was the first company to commercialise quantum cascade lasers (QCLs); robust and powerful devices for gas spectroscopy, in-vivo imaging, medical applications, dental applications, communications, industrial applications and defensive countermeasures. Here's a throwback to the 1994 scientific report by Faist et al. which introduced QCLs to the world: https://lnkd.in/djQMYiX #photonics #lasers #sensing

Kick-Off Meeting of Project ForeSight – Improving last-kilometer navigation & transportation in challenging environments. Project ForeSight – Improving last-kilometer navigation & transportation of emergency personnel, equipment and relief items in hazardous and challenging environments Project ForeSight (Horizon Europe Project 101168521), is holding its kick-off meeting in Bonn from October 29-31, 2024, marking a critical step toward advancing disaster response logistics. Led by the German Federal Agency for Technical Relief (THW), ForeSight brings together partners across Europe to develop cutting-edge tools that aid first responders in hazardous conditions. The project focuses on enhancing navigation, situational awareness, and logistics in low-visibility environments, such as those impacted by smoke, fog, or dust. A site visit to Germany's flood-affected Ahr Valley underscored the urgent need for ForeSight’s life-saving innovations in emergency response.

I was nominated by my company, Alpes Lasers, as a candidate for the #Photonics21 Board of Stakeholders. If you think I will bring value by getting elected, please cast your vote! https://lnkd.in/dyt9iVct

Alpes Lasers is proud to be a partner in the dAIry 4.0 Horizon Europe project! The dairy industry, vital to the EU economy, faces challenges with rising global demand and CO₂ emissions. Automated Milking Systems (AMS) and Automated Voluntary Milking Systems (AVMS) are vital. AI-driven advancements are needed to enhance efficiency, animal health, milk quality, and feeding strategies. dAIry 4.0 integrates AI, Data, and Robotics to optimize AVMS, reducing environmental impact. It focuses on individual cow health via AVMS and introduces a laser sensor for real-time milk quality analysis. These innovations allow personalised milking, tailored feeding, and milk partitioning by quality, demonstrated in real-world cases. #dAIry40 #Automatedmilking #DairyInnovation

On July 2nd and 3rd, Alpes Lasers had the privilege to host the 6th General Assembly Meeting of the EU-funded project M3NIR.   M3NIR aims at pushing the limits of mid-IR sensing for monitoring greenhouse gas emissions, detecting phosphates and nitrates in water, and conducting breath analysis for health and well-being-related applications.   Thanks to all Partners for making this event a success. It was a pleasure to welcome you in St-Blaise!   M3NIR Alpes Lasers imec Ghent University Technische Universität Wien Ulm University Ethnikon kai Kapodistriakon Panepistimion Athinon Eulambia Advanced Technologies Argotech – Semiconductor photonics microfluidic ChipShop GmbH ALTUS LSA S.A.
