Emmanuel Rosencher, Onera General Scientific Director and professor at the École Polytechnique, received the France Telecom 2010 Grand Prix from the Academy of Sciences on 25th January 2011. He has been recognized for all of his work on quantum opto-electronic components, leading to new infrared detector and wavelength tunable laser (opticalparametricoscillators) systems
She has received the Edouard Branly Prize for her work in wave physics on the development of opticalparametricoscillators(* nesCOPO** type) and their application to the detection and measurement of natural or anthropogenic pollutants. It is in fact one of the specialties of the laboratory where Myriam Raybaut works- Laser Sources and Metrology
"The father" is the opticalparametricoscillator (OPO), a compact device, robust and efficient energy consumption, and which allows the sweeping of frequencies. Compact opticalparametricoscillator (OPO) for the detection of chemical species... This is the case, for example, with the opticalparametricoscillators already mentioned, for which Onera has designed new" non- linear" materials, as well as new optical architectures, made up of nested cavities
