Thales Science

[#Laser] Thales will be at Optica Laser Congress ( Oct 20/24, 2024) at Grand Prince Hotel Osaka Bay in Osaka, Japan This congress provides a comprehensive view of the latest advances in solid state laser development along with recent new applications. 💥 Meet there with Olivier Casagrande. His poster as part of the Laser Applications Conference (LAC) will present - 📢22 October 2024, 10-11 am ( local time) – the new Thales nanosecond UV diode pumped solid-state laser for various industrial applications such as silicon annealing for flat panel displays, microelectronics or power devices, that require high energy and average power. The Thales THEIA UV provides efficient performances with a low cost of ownership. Other Thales experts involved in the THEIA UV development: Nicolas Bruel, christophe derycke, Damien Delobel, Hervé Besaucèle 💥Don’t miss also as part of the Advanced Solid State Lasers Conference (ASSL) - 📢23 October 2024, 10-11 am ( local time) – Emmanuel Hugonnot’s poster that will present joint works between Thales and CEA to improve CEA’s PETAL ultra-high intensity laser facility. Thales and CEA teams together develop a new versatile front-end with temporal contrast control, pulse duration adjustment and two delayed beams to boost PETAL’s performances. Coupled to CEA’s LMJ – Laser Mégajoule located near Bordeaux in France, the PETawatt Aquitaine Laser (PETAL) is devoted to light-matter interactions studies. PETAL’s very high intensity beam, synchronized with the high energy nanosecond beams of LMJ expands the LMJ experimental field on High Energy Density Physics. LMJ-PETAL is an exceptional tool for academic research, offering the opportunity to study matter in extreme conditions. This work is supported by the Région Nouvelle-Aquitaine through the project PETAL-Upgrade.  - For CEA : Emmanuel Hugonnot, Florent Scol, Nathalie Santacreu, Hervé Coïc, Nathalie Blanchot - For Thales : Vincent Leroux, Thomas Morbieu, Nicolas Bruel, Béatrice Fréchet, Durand Eric, Olivier Chalus, Casagrande Olivier #Optics #Photonics #lasertechnology #siliconannealing #solidstatelaser #laserliftoff #science #research #Thales #CEA   ✔ For more about Optica Laser Congress https://lnkd.in/eebfp_ZS ✔ For more about Thales lasers for industrial applications https://lnkd.in/dDFVXRUf

📅 September 27th at 02:00 pm at #Thales Research & Technology Palaiseau 👉 Workshop “Quantum integrated photonic and the role of nonlinearity” 📄 Even restricting to integrated photonics, the variety of existing quantum technologies is astonishing and so are the functions implemented. Here is our humble contribution to help with their subtleties and focus on some of the current challenges, in particular the heterogeneous integration, namely “what can be possibly combined in a photonic chip?” On the other hand, the evolution of the technology makes the perspectives envisioned by the theoreticians a bit closer, in particular about manipulating quantum states through optical nonlinearities. 🎤 Kartik Srinivasan, National Institute of Standards and Technology and Joint Quantum Institute, NIST/UMD (USA) “Quantum light sources in silicon nitride PICs: bulk nonlinearity, heterogeneously-integrated quantum dots, and vapor-phase atoms” 🎤 Serge Massar, Université Libre de Bruxelles, "Quantum Computing.

[#Laser] Once again #ICUIL conference, the international committee on Ultra-high intensity lasers (Mexico, Sept 9 -13), is proving the unique opportunity that this event represents for specialists in high-power lasers. The meetings and exchanges are numerous and fruitful, essential to technological advances and future applications. Tomorrow, the last day of ICUIL, Olivier Chalus will be presenting at 1pm on behalf of Thales the advances made in collaboration between #Apollon and Extreme Light Infrastructure - Nuclear Physics Center (ELI-NP) to improve contrast, a limiting factor in the performances of multi PW laser systems.

[#Laser] The Thales laser team is in Cozumel, Mexico ! As an introduction to #ICUIL, we have been very pleased to meet our laser community this weekend on the occasion of our 10th Petawatt Scientific Committee. We would like to thank all the participants for making this edition a success …. we already look forward to the 11th ! Developments in power laser technology over the last fifteen years have opened up an incredible range of possible applications: scientific, industrial, space,... We will continue to work together enthusiastically on their deployment. At ICUIL today, you can meet with Christophe SIMON-BOISSON, Olivier Chalus, Olivier Casagrande, Stephane Bethuys, Arthur Chaubard   Don't miss also #Thales talks in the very next days: 📣 Tomorrow, Sept 10 from 2.30 to 4.30 p.m.: presentation of the Thales new 100 Hz Joule class TiSa laser 📣 On Friday, Sept 13 – 1 p.m.: picosecond contrast improvements made for PW class lasers thanks to modified stretcher design #Thales #lasertechnology #highintensitylaser #ultrafastlaser #innovation #science #future For more about Thales lasers >> https://lnkd.in/gAqUny7u

[#Laser] Would you like to know more about Thales latest developments in high intensity lasers ? At #ICUIL International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) 2024 (Mexico, Sept 9 -13), the international committee on Ultra-high intensity lasers, don’t miss Olivier Chalus talks on Sept 10 ( from 2.30 to 4.30 p.m.) and Sept 13 (1 p.m.) 💥 On Sept 10, Olivier will present the Thales new 100 Hz Joule class TiSa lasers. With their 100 Hz high repetition rate, these new Thales TW class lasers allow to accelerate and generate intense flows of particles and radiation that are required for a various field of future societal applications in the #medical or #energy sectors. The Thales team involved Alain Pellegrina, Adeline Kabacinski, Antoine Jeandet, Vincent Leroux, Loïc Lavenu, Olivier Chalus, Olivier Casagrande, Sandrine Ricaud, Christophe SIMON-BOISSON, Hervé Besaucèle 💥 On sept 13, Olivier will present new stretcher design for PW class lasers to enhance their contrast performances . One of the limitations of multi-PW laser systems is the pedestal present on the first 100 picoseconds prior to the main power peak due to the convex mirror of the stretcher. To overcome this, the Thales laser team in collaboration with #Apollon (https://lnkd.in/eiQRngye) and Extreme Light Infrastructure - Nuclear Physics Center (ELI-NP) teams developed a stretcher without a convex mirror. The experimental results performed at ELI-NP showed a significant improvement. The full team involved Olivier Chalus, Dimitris Papadopoulos (Apollon), François Mathieu (Apollon), patrick audebert (Apollon), Nathalie LEBAS (Apollon), Mathilde Charbonneau , Stanislas Pasternak, christophe derycke, Samy FERHAT, Alain Pellegrina, Sandrine Ricaud, Bruno Le Garrec (Apollon), Erhard Gaul (Marvel Fusion), Gabriel Victor Cojocaru (ELI), Antonia Toma (ELI), Saidbek Norbaev (ELI), Ioan Dancus (ELI).   At #ICUIL meet also with Christophe SIMON-BOISSON, Olivier Casagrande, Stephane Bethuys, Arthur Chaubard don’t hesitate to send them direct messages. #Thales #ELINP #lasertechnology #highintensitylaser #ultrafastlaser #innovation #science #future For more about ICUIL 2024 👉 https://lnkd.in/e44jBCPa
