Experimental facilities

The various experimental resources available to the scientific community have been developed and equipped as part of several large-scale research projects (notably CPER), funded by European, national, and local public partners. These projects, supported by the European Union (FEDER), the Ministry of Higher Education and Research, the Brittany Region, the Finistère Departmental Council, and Brest Métropole, demonstrate our commitment to cutting-edge scientific research and the promotion of innovative technologies.

The equipment and infrastructures presented here have been made possible through CPER programs including:

Phot-BREIZH (2021-2027): This project aims to strengthen research and innovation capacities in photonics and nanotechnologies by developing state-of-the-art experimental infrastructures in Brittany.

  • The PICTURE sub-project, led by Bretagne INP, aims to optimize Power-over-Fiber technology to supply power and transmit data to IoT sensors without cables or batteries. The project is based on comparing different PoF system architectures and on studying advanced modulation formats, such as constant-envelope multicarrier schemes, in order to better manage optical channel nonlinearities, increase the average transmitted optical power, and ensure reliable, real-time high-data-rate transmission.

    Funded facilities: Multichannel optical signal and data generation test bench; Optical modulation analyzer; Power generation test bench with multiple wavelengths.

    PICTURE project funders: European Union (ERDF) 173 k€; French State 136 k€; Brittany Region 73 k€; Finistère Departmental Council 56 k€.

SpacetechDronetech (2021-2027): This project aims to develop experimental infrastructures dedicated to space technologies and drones, promoting innovation and research in these strategic fields.

I-ROMI (2015-2020): This project enabled the development of advanced experimental infrastructures in optics and materials, supporting multidisciplinary research in these fields.

SOPHIE (2015-2020): This project enhanced the development of experimental infrastructures in photonics and optoelectronic systems, supporting research and innovation in these advanced technologies.

Thanks to these structuring projects, our team has gained access to unique resources, enabling cutting-edge research across various scientific fields, while fostering cooperation and innovation within our region.
