Adaptive Métacomposites: a structure equipped with 75 PZT patches shunted on resistive circuits and negative capacitances was tested in partnership with the aerospace industry. An attenuation of 10 dB on bending waves in the upper part of the plate has been obtained in a wide frequency band (125-5000 kHz)

Neuromorphic computers: a single delay architecture using a LiNbO3 modulator has achieved a breakthrough [Optics Express] noticed in a "Highlight" of [Nature Physics]. A 2nd demonstrator using a tunable laser [Phys. Rev. Lett.], was also distinguished by 2 "highlights" [Nature Photonics] & [Optics & Photonics Focus].

Micro & nano-sensors: a first SPR (Surface Plasmon Resonance) nomadic sensor with ultra-sensitive phase has been completed. A patent will be filed.

Functional materials: A method of surface texturing by femtosecond laser allowed definition of locally super-hydrophobic surfaces (industrial transfer in progress).Annual activity report 2012
