(T)FBGs manufacturing
Our facilities include an automated fibre Bragg grating manufacturing tool and custom laser inscriptions within a clean room.
(Bio)sensing
Gold-coated sensors are used to generate plasmonic effects and enhance refractometry analyses and biochemical detections.
Fine metal depositions
One of our recent major equipment is a plasma sputter-coater with two metal targets (magnetrons) for the deposition of fine nanofilms.

The APS-unit is present at the Belgian thematic doctoral school “METAMORPHOSE” organized at UMONS this year! This event gathers researchers working on Experimental and theoretical methods: atoms, molecules and supramolecules, photons, spectra and electrons.🕵 Hadrien Fasseaux and Médéric Loyez presented their studies based on plasmonic tilted fiber… - Biosensing Technology 2024
It was nice to see the many interesting prospects in biosensors at the 8th conference on Bio-sensing Technology in Seville, Spain! Our postdoc researcher, Médéric Loyez, presented our latest research works about insulin detection and benchmarking with the SPR Biacore setup, conducted with Hadrien Fasseaux, Maxime Lobry,… - SPIE Photonics Europe
This week was intense at the conference! Hadrien Fasseaux, Mateo Tunon de lara and Médéric Loyez were presenting our latest works at SPIE Photonics Europe conference! It was a great opportunity to meet with our collaborators et create new connections for our future projects!
