Associated Laboratories
The research laboratories associated with this specialty are: CNRS Foton, IPR, the Labsticc and LSOL laboratories and the optical department of Telecom Bretagne. The outside contributors involved are therefore experienced lecturer-researchers from recognized laboratories, working in core-facility environments.
Training through research is based on the combined expertise of these contributors, communicated to the students through a practical scientific initiation TU (introduction to research, scientific conferences), the teaching of skills related to the research profession: use of English, programming, carrying out a project, etc. The training also includes practical aspects: it offers a remarkable opportunity to discover five research platforms (Nano-Rennes, PERDYN, PERFOS, PERSYST and PIXEL).
For internships, students are placed in the top laboratories in France (CNRS (CELIA, Ecole Polytechnique, IOTA, LAAS, LPN, etc.), CEA, ONERA, Orange Labs, Alcatel-Lucent, Telecom Paris Tech, etc.) and abroad ( EPFL, Technion, Stanford, MIT, ORC Southampton, etc.).
