The Université de Bretagne Occidentale (UBO) is in Brittany, on the north-western coast of France. It is a multicampus university, with the main site in Brest and satellite campuses in Quimper and Morlaix.
Optics and Magnetism Laboratory.
The research field of the optical team of OPTIMAG is instrumental optics, and more precisely optical metrology of scattering and complex media.
Our expertise fields are polarimetry, coherent and lidar techniques, nonlinear optics and microscopy, and fluorescence spectroscopy.
The research activities are in the topics of biophotonics, marine lidar, and material and molecular characterization.
The urban core of an area that provides all facilities for 400,000 people to live and work, the Brest metropolitan area is a place of open-mindedness and solidarity, a place accessible and welcoming, surrounded by an outstanding natural heritage and wondrous biodiversity.
Here, Brittany’s 2nd university center welcomes over 26,000 students on a yearly basis, 2500 of them being foreign students. A multi-disciplinary university, the CHRU, schools of engineering, management and arts, the highest success rates for secondary school leavers and innovative local educational schemes: there are no restrictions to success at the tip of Europe.
Here, businesses link up with competitiveness clusters and the engineering school IMT Atlantique to invent the technologies and social networks of tomorrow. Intelligent transportation systems, virtual and augmented reality as well as 3D technology are developed and fostered in Brest along with Lannion and Rennes.
Established in 2005 as an university spin off from TU Bergakademie - The University of Resources, Freiberg Instruments devoted the first few years to develop and test a whole family of fast, nondestructive, electrical characterization tools under production conditions, measuring parameters like minority carrier lifetime, photoconductivity and resistivity.
Freiberg Instruments is now one of the world's fastest growing, young and dynamic analytical instrumentation companies with products covering a broad spectrum of applications in fields/industries like Semiconductor, Microelectronics, Photovoltaic, Dosimetry, Medical Research, Luminescence Dating, X-ray diffraction, Material Research and Electron Spin Resonance.
