Exail - Photonics

🎤 Exail was honored to participate to the European Quantum Technology Conference (#EQTC 2024) round table on #Quantum Sensing & Infrastructures with panelists Philippe Bouyer, Camille Janvier, PhD, Damian Markham, Marvin Reich.   ✅ User-friendly Quantum Sensors 👉 the Absolute Quantum Gravimeter (AQG): Camille Janvier explained how Exail designed the AQG to be simple and intuitive, requiring just two days of training for deployment, easily revealing water dynamics—a benefit Marvin Reich confirmed through his team’s experience. ✅ Quantum Beyond the Lab: The panel emphasized the practical impact of quantum sensors like the AQG: robust, field-tested tools already delivering results in hydrogravimetry, volcanology, archaeology, and metrology. Marvin Reich highlighted the importance publicly funded sensor network which enables widespread access to these advanced tools, fostering research collaboration. Thanks to Quantum Delta NL, Helmholtz-Centre Potsdam - German Research Centre GFZ, and LIP6 - Laboratoire d'informatique (CNRS/Sorbonne University) for leading the way in quantum sensing! #QuantumSensors #QuantumGravimetry #Hydrogravimetry #InnovationInAction | Quantum Flagship #EQTC2024 Nathalie Olivier

🚀 A busy week for Exail in Europe! The full expertise of the company for space applications (#photonics, communication and navigation) is showcased at the Space Tech Expo Europe 2024 in Bremen📌. 💡 Did you know that Exail is an ideal partner for the development of high-performance #space-grade optical solutions? The company leverages decades of expertise in the field of fiber-optic-gyroscopes, with Astrix inertial navigation systems for space, now available for #NewSpace applications. 👉 Last chance to meet our expert David Dupuy and Joël TCHAHAME, PhD today, to discover the optical components (modulators, fibers, micro-optics MUX/DEMUX, 90° Optical Hybrids), the sub-systems (i.e Low Noise Optical Amplifier) up to the full system available in Exail's portfolio for space applications. (Learn more:➡ https://lnkd.in/e9Q76qzU) 🛰 A ready-to-flight optical transceiver was delivered to Airbus Defence and Space in 2023 and is currently tested onboard the #TELEO demonstrator for a space to ground optical communications (https://lnkd.in/diJaKsa4)!

✨ Exail is glad to support as a sponsor the Alain Aspect #Symposium, taking place at iXcampus📍 St-Germain-en-Laye! The prestigious event has brought together top minds (including 2022 physics nobel prize laureate alain aspect himself) since yesterday, to discuss how #quantum technologies can address some of our planet’s most urgent challenges! 🌍 💡 Did you know that the quantum sensor activity of Exail was initially founded by former students and colleagues of Alain Aspect, a decade ago? One of them, Bruno Desruelle, current VP Photonics of Exail, gave an exciting keynote presentation to introduce Exail's global industrial expertise within the field of quantum gravity sensing. ✅ As the first company to commercialize industry-grade quantum gravity sensors, Exail has paved the way for cutting-edge technologies that are now accessible to a broader spectrum of users. Our mission is to support companies, agencies and research laboratories in bringing quantum #innovations to market, whether through neutral atoms, photons, or ions, by setting industry standards for reliability and performance. (Learn more➡ https://lnkd.in/e_GcWAuE). 🤝 Don’t miss the opportunity to meet Exail colleagues at our sponsor booth to learn more, and to discover a #laser dedicated for quantum application! A special thanks to Quantonation and to iXcampus for the invitation!

✨ Exail's expertise in quantum gravimetry in the spotlight this week in Lisbon! Camille Janvier, PhD gave the opening session talk of the European #Quantum Technology Conference (#EQTC) 2024 this morning. He introduced the recent demonstration of Exail's Differential Quantum Gravimeter (DQG) to detect archeological remains, in the framework of the #HorizonEurope project FIQUgS 🌱.   👉 The demonstration took place in the city center of Lisbon📌 some weeks ago. Exail's DQG is a unique instrument able to measure simultaneously the absolute values of both gravitational acceleration and its vertical gradient. Measuring the gravity gradient allows to detect small masses at short range. 🔎 The instrument successfully detected the presence of a Roman sewer, which confirmed its outdoor performance.   ✅ Exail pioneered the development of industry-grade quantum sensors based on cold-atoms a decade ago and today, nearly 20 of Exail's Absolute Quantum Gravimeters (AQG) are in operation worldwide. With FIQUgS, Exail is now fine-tunning (with ten European technological partners https://lnkd.in/eGqPn4rG) its DQG as a new generation of field deployable quantum gravimeters for #geoscience and civil engineering (i.e accurate underground mapping).   💡The "quantum gravimetry for archeology" demonstration was supported by Centro de Arqueologia de Lisboa (António Marques) and PQI – Portuguese Quantum Institute (Yasser Omar) | Gravity data inversion by GReD | Quantum Flagship #EQTC2024

💡Did you know that Exail has an extensive experience in designing and photoinscribing Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) mirrors across a broad wavelength range, from 375 nm to 2200 nm (https://lnkd.in/e_UXj7WT)? 📢 Hot off the press in Applied Physics Letters*: the team of Stéphane TREBAOL at Institut FOTON has developed a miniature UV #laser diode emitting at 399.6 nm, stabilized by optical feedback from an Exail-manufactured FBG. ✅ Featuring a small footprint compatible with standard butterfly packages, low frequency noise, and fiber-coupled output, this FBG laser source stands as a prime candidate for integration with photonic platforms tailored for #quantum information processing and #metrology.
