CROMA (Centre for radiofrequencies, optics and micro-nanoelectronics in the Alps) (formerly IMEP-LAHC) is a “UMR 5130” Joint Research Unit (CNRS / Grenoble INP / UGA/ USMB) with 110 staff, including 65 permanent people and 45 PhD and post-doc researchers. The research activities of the laboratory cover the study of components, devices and systems based on micro- and nanoelectronics, microwaves, and photonics technologies.
This research is carried out in close collaboration with academics and industrial partners involved in various fields such as microelectronics, telecommunications, physics and nanophysics, biology, life sciences, chemistry, environment and health. Such activities are regrouped in three research teams working in the fields of microelectronics (CMNE), microwaves and sustainable electronics (DHREAMS), photonics and THz optoelectronics (PHOTO). The team working in the EQUBITFLY project has extensive expertise in THz science and technology.
Key people on the project
Jean-François ROUX (PI) is a full professor at the Université Savoie Mont Blanc (USMB), where he works in the field of THz optoelectronics. After graduating from Télécom Physique Engineering School in Strasbourg in 1990, he obtained his PhD from Grenoble INP in 1995 for his work in the field of nonlinear integrated optics.
He joined USMB in 1996 as Associate Professor of Electronics and Optoelectronics. In 2010, he presented his “Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches” on THz signal generation and detection using optoelectronic devices. His main interest in research is in the design and characterization of ultrafast devices for THz applications, such as on-chip spectroscopy, analog-to-digital conversion and ultrashort electrical pulse generation for nanophysics applications.
