Description du projet
Impression 3D du verre par écriture laser ou polissage
Le verre joue un rôle essentiel dans les dispositifs photoniques. Par exemple, le verre est utilisé comme source laser, lentille, écran intelligent, fibre optique et fibre spéciale. Dans ce contexte, le projet FUNGLASS, financé par l’UE, explorera la conception et la fabrication de composants et de systèmes optiques. La percée de FUNGLASS repose sur le contrôle du traitement nano/micrométrique et de l’impression 3D du verre par écriture laser ou «poling». La participation de grands centres internationaux disposant d’installations de pointe pour le développement de composants photoniques permet de tisser des liens solides pour établir un réseau international sans précédent dans le domaine de la photonique et des matériaux.
Objectif
The scientific objective of the project FUNGLASS- FUNctional GLASS integration in photonic devices and components- addresses one of the most crucial challenges in research and innovation which lies in the design and manufacturing of optical components and systems. Among the materials used in photonic devices, glasses play a central role: they are used as laser sources, lenses, smart screen, optical fibers and specialty fibers to name a few. FUNGLASS breakthrough relies on the control of nano/micro processing and 3D printing of glass by laser writing or poling, offering extraordinary opportunities for fabrication of elementary building-blocks such as multimaterial optical fibers with unique topology, morphology and novel properties for the design of integrated multifunctional components and devices.
FUNGLASS proposes interdisciplinary European scale staff exchange programme with unique positioning on laser/field 3D nano/micro patterning and functionalizing of novel photonic glass materials allowing fabrication of sophisticated components and systems on their own. The involvement of large international centers with state of the art facilities for developing photonics components will enable provision of the required skills for developing a career in the private sector, as an entrepreneur, a CEO, a chief of R&D department etc. The involvement of international experienced and recognized professors, ER, involved in the project will also ensure that ESRs are prepared for a career in research excellence. Moreover, the strong lasting links between those centers allow the popup for an unpreceded international network in photonics and material. This proposal will contribute to sustain this network by the creation of joint unit laboratory between participants.
