L’Institut de Fonctions Optiques pour les Technologies de l’informatiON (UMR CNRS 6082) has long-standing expertise in semiconductor-based photonic devices, from the growth and engineering of materials, to their processing, right through to the component. It is organized into four groups, including the OHM group, which is involved in the MACIEO project. Its expertise is based on a state-of-the-art micro-nano manufacturing platform, NanoRennes (part of the French Renatech+ network). It has extensive experience in the design and manufacture of photonic devices (edge-emitting lasers, V(E)CSELs, microdisks), the construction of complex optical experiments (pump-probe, spectral hole etching measurements). The FOTON Institute's involvement in the MACIEO project will consist in developing the technological manufacturing process for circuits and antennas combining the 2 reconfiguration processes studied, and in studying, optimizing and implementing the laser-optical illumination system that will enable reversible phase change of chalcogenide glasses.

Participants :

Cyril Paranthoen, associate professor and scientific manager of the FOTON laboratory, in charge of the process and lighting aspects of chalcogenide-based devices.

Karine Tavernier, assistant engineer in cleanroom device processing.

Christophe Levallois, associate professor involved in the processing and ellipsometric characterization of chalcogenide-based devices for parts WP1 and WP2 of the project.

Mathieu Perrin, associate professor who takes part in experiments to illuminate chalcogen-based devices.

Thiviya Parthipan, doctorante qui participe à la caractérisation des matériaux, à l’éclairage optique, aux processus de fabrication, aux démonstrateurs de base et à la structure de l’alimentation.
