Peter Higgs et François Englert dans le grand amphithéâtre du CERN le 4 juillet 2012. Ils viennent de comprendre que l’univers plussoie à l’idée qu’ils avaient eue séparément 48 ans plus tôt : celle du boson de Higgs. La patience paie parfois.

TIL that the total length of deployed optical fiber is ~5 billions km, which is actually roughly the scale of the solar system. Sun-earth distance is ~150M km.

New (APC-free open access!) paper out on a versatile comb source based on multiple FWM in a Brillouin fiber laser. Congrats Moïse for this nice work! doi.org/10.1051/jeos/2…

The new PhD candidate, the post-doc, and the PI

Nobody has their slides ready a week before! 🫠

Félicitations John Dudley nommé à une Chaire Fondamentale (catégorie senior) de l'Institut Universitaire de France (Institut universitaire de France (IUF)). Une distinction très sélective lui permettant de développer un programme de recherche très ambitieux en optique-photonique : tinyurl.com/3djhbbu4

Good news for those who, for financial or ethical reasons, no longer want to pay a fortune to publish an open access article. Okay, sorry, this only applies to Frenchs... elsevier.com/open-access/ag…

Hot off the press! Check out our latest paper on a new technique to visualize supercontinuum generation inside optical fibers. jeos.edpsciences.org/articles/jeos/…

An exciting meeting in Bordeaux for the ELIOS GDR, and we were thrilled to have the very famous Prof. Agrawal with us !

disguise challenge for the research habilitation of Pierre Ambroise lacourt FEMTO-ST with John Dudley and Yanne chembo

New paper out in APL Photonics ! doi.org/10.1063/5.0223… We've just unlocked the next level: stimulated Brillouin scattering from surface acoustic waves in optical nanofibers - 10 years after we first stumbled upon the spontaneous version! doi.org/10.1038/ncomms…

A friendly reminder to reviewers: behind every paper is a lot of hard work from students and advisors, and a good amount of grant money!. While your feedback is incredibly valuable, let’s keep it constructive and kind, after all, we’re all in this together!

New paper online on a temperature-independent Fabry-Perot filter on a fiber tip ! Congrats Johnny for this fantastic device ! A successful collaboration between FEMTO-ST, ICB, and UTMB doi.org/10.1016/j.tws.…
