By working with research institutions, industry partners, and academic teams, we contribute our expertise in laser and photonics solutions. These collaborations support the creation of practical applications and new approaches in optical technologies. Our involvement focuses on providing technical knowledge and solutions that help move projects forward.

Collaborative Laser R&D Projects: Oxxius Driving Photonics Innovation

Through these partnerships, Oxxius contributes to the development and implementation of emerging laser technologies.

In addition, these projects allow us to exchange knowledge, learn from other experts, and stay informed about evolving needs and challenges in different sectors. They also help us explore new applications of our lasers. By participating in these initiatives, we aim to support innovation while maintaining a practical and application-oriented approach.

Why Oxxius Invests in Collaborative Laser R&D Projects

Collaborative R&D allows Oxxius to tackle technological challenges that go beyond what a single company can address alone. Each project brings together complementary expertise: fiber specialists, laser physicists, electronics engineers and application researchers… to accelerate the development of innovative laser solutions with real-world impact.

These partnerships also allow Oxxius to stay at the forefront of emerging photonics applications: from super-resolution microscopy and quantum atom cooling to deep-sea optical communication and UV medical diagnostics. The knowledge gained feeds directly back into our product development roadmap, ensuring that Oxxius laser sources remain aligned with the most demanding scientific and industrial needs.

Funding: France 2030, ANR and European Programs Supporting Our R&D

Oxxius’s collaborative laser R&D projects benefit from public funding through several major programs: France 2030 (QoQeliQo, LUMEN, ID-GF), the Agence Nationale de la Recherche (NeoDUV, UV4LIFE), France Relance (LaCIO), and regional support from Région Bretagne and Lannion-Trégor Communauté. This institutional backing reflects the strategic importance of photonics innovation for both the French and European industrial ecosystems.
