Institut D'Optique Graduate School

On the occasion of its centenary, the Institut d'Optique and its partners have mobilized to publish a book illustrating the remarkable example of the dynamics between fundamental research, education and industrial innovations.

The Institut d’Optique aims to bring together in one single institution all activities related to photonics: research, higher education and training, innovation, business creation, consulting and technology transfer.

Institut d’Optique Graduate School helps to drive major revolutions in optics by conducting research in all fields of industry and high technologies.

• Environment: atmospheric pollution monitoring, non-destructive testing in manufacturing, low-energy lighting systems

• Transport: optical guidance systems (driverless vehicles, vehicle collision avoidance systems for increased road safety, head-up displays in windscreens or drivers' glasses)

• Food: safety and traceability

• Healthcare and biotechnologies: medical imaging (MRIs, scanners, etc.), endoscopy (diagnostic testing, medical imagery), skin laser treatments, ophthalmology and nephrology, neurosciences (e.g. biochips for certain biological tests).

Institut d’Optique Graduate School is a Grande École of Engineering whose graduates go on to careers in all fields, from upstream research and marketing, to development, strategic marketing and industrial production.
