Project description DEENESFRITPL Training young researchers in tailored laser light beams Structured laser beams pave the way towards new advances across many scientific fields. Light incident on a diffraction grating is dispersed away from the grating surface at an angle depending on the wavelength. The combination of diffraction grating structures and planar waveguides tailors the spectral and spatial shaping of laser beams. The EU-funded GREAT project will offer 15 early-stage researchers training in the design of advanced grating waveguide structures. GREAT will investigate modelling methods and fabrication tools for the development of grating waveguide structures to expand their application usage. Theoretical research activities will include pulse compression, spectral stabilisation, wavelength multiplexing and polarisation shaping. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Objective The overall aim of the GREAT (Grating Reflectors Enabled laser Applications and Training) project is to train a cohort of 15ESRs through the completion of interconnected individual projects which will deliver innovative approaches for developmentand use of Grating Waveguide Structures (GWS), from design to implementation in several laser systems. GWS results fromthe combination of sub-wavelength gratings and planar waveguides. This combination results, by means of an appropriatedesign of the overall GWS, in resonances which can be used for many applications that are more efficient than currentgrating-only devices. The young will be trained to work collaboratively to deliver systems and solutions responding to realworld problems. This is crucial since there is an overall lack of qualified specialized personnel in this field, with a limitednumber of companies active worldwide. Crucially, this lack of skilled workforce has been identified by the ETP Photonics21(Photonics21 (2013) Towards 2020 – Photonics driving economic growth in Europe-Multiannual Strategic Roadmap 2014 –2020) as a major challenge for the photonics community. Moreover, GREAT gathers Photonics, Micro-Nano technologies,Advanced materials as well as Nanotechnologies which are among the Key technologies defined within the H2020 projectfor the competitiveness and renewal of European manufacturing. Lasers are also defined as an important industrial sector,where the European Community is a key player which aims to keep its competitive position (http://www.strategies-u.com/lasers-photonics.html). Therefore, GREAT will provide important modelling methods and fabrication tools that allow thedevelopment of GWS to consolidate and expand their use in several applications in the laser field like pulse compression,spectral stabilization and wavelength multiplexing, as well as polarization shaping (generation of beams with radial and azimuthal polarization Fields of science engineering and technologynanotechnologysocial scienceseconomics and businessbusiness and managementemploymentnatural sciencesphysical sciencesopticslaser physics Keywords Grating waveguide structures coatings pulsed-laser deposition Lithography etching polarization shaping spectral stabilization and multiplexing pulse compression ultrafast lasers diode lasers Programme(s) H2020-EU.1.3. - EXCELLENT SCIENCE - Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Main Programme H2020-EU.1.3.1. - Fostering new skills by means of excellent initial training of researchers Topic(s) MSCA-ITN-2018 - Innovative Training Networks Call for proposal H2020-MSCA-ITN-2018 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme MSCA-ITN - Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Networks (ITN) Coordinator UNIVERSITY OF STUTTGART Net EU contribution € 1 011 153,60 Address Keplerstrasse 7 70174 Stuttgart Germany See on map Region Baden-Württemberg Stuttgart Stuttgart, Stadtkreis Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 0,00 Participants (8) Sort alphabetically Sort by Net EU contribution Expand all Collapse all UNIVERSITE JEAN MONNET SAINT-ETIENNE France Net EU contribution € 274 802,04 Address Rue trefilerie 10 42023 Saint etienne See on map Region Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Rhône-Alpes Loire Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 0,00 ECOLE CENTRALE DE MARSEILLE EGIM France Net EU contribution € 549 604,08 Address Rue frederic joliot curie 38 technopole chateau gombert 13383 Marseille cedex 13 See on map Region Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur Bouches-du-Rhône Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 0,00 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON United Kingdom Net EU contribution € 606 345,12 Address Highfield SO17 1BJ Southampton See on map Region South East (England) Hampshire and Isle of Wight Southampton Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 0,00 ITA-SUOMEN YLIOPISTO Finland Net EU contribution € 561 611,52 Address Yliopistonranta 1 e 70211 Kuopio See on map Region Manner-Suomi Pohjois- ja Itä-Suomi Pohjois-Savo Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 0,00 GESELLSCHAFT FUR ANGEWANDTE MIKRO UND OPTOELEKTRONIK MIT BESCHRANKTERHAFTUNG AMO GMBH Germany Net EU contribution € 252 788,40 Address Otto blumenthal strasse 52074 Aachen See on map SME The organization defined itself as SME (small and medium-sized enterprise) at the time the Grant Agreement was signed.
