Date Announced: 26 Oct 2016
Next meeting to focus on mid-infrared and THz frequencies.
QUEBEC CITY, Oct. 26, 2016 /CNW Telbec/ - The National Optics Institute (INO) announces the signing of a memorandum of understanding with the Centre d'Optique, Photonique et Laser (COPL) and the RIKEN Center for Advanced Photonics in Japan. This memorandum of understanding opens the door to cooperation between the three organizations.
The collaboration activities between these three organizations include the exchange of researchers, staff and students, scientific and technological research materials, and scientific and technological information, including delivering lectures and holding joint seminars and symposia. Joint research projects may also sprout from this partnership, which continues until the end of March 2018, and may be extended by mutual agreement.
"This agreement with the Centre d'Optique Photonique et Laser (COPL) and the RIKEN Center for Advanced Photonics represents a great opportunity for our three organizations to develop new and innovative technologies," says INO President and CEO Jean-Yves Roy. "Bringing together our three world-renowned research centers is a major step towards a new era in photonics, which means expanding the range of services we can offer to the industry."
"COPL is very proud to count an organization as prestigious as the RIKEN Center among its scientific collaborators," says Réal Vallée, director of COPL. "This joint collaboration agreement with INO will help position Quebec researchers as an international reference in the strategic sector of photonics."
"Quebec and Japan are strongholds of optics and photonics worldwide," notes Satoshi Wada, director of the Advanced Photonics Technology Development Group. "By consolidating their linkage, COPL, INO and RIKEN will favor knowledge exchange and effective cooperation, which will enable rapid progress for all organizations. We are looking forward to our next meeting planned for April and focusing on engineering and science in the mid-infrared and THz frequencies including light sources, devices, detectors, applications and basic science."
