(Source: EPFL - École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) 20.02.17- EPFL`s Laboratory of Photonics and Quantum Measurements, led by Professor Tobias J. Kippenberg, will coordinate two Horizon 2020 projects for a total of EUR14 million. The projects will be carried out through two parallel collaborations, Hybrid Optomechanical Technologies (HOT) and Optomechanical Technologies (OMT). The projects stem from very competitive calls of Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) Proactive (EUR10m) and of Marie Curie European Training Network (EUR4m), with success rates of 3% and 6% respectively. Key players from academia and leading industries (IBM, Bosch, Thales, Hitachi, STMicroelectronics) will unite to...
