This blog is a record of what I produced both as a developper, both as a student at the Institut of Optics, in Orsay.
The Institute of Optics was established by the renowned Charles Fabry in 1917, during World War I. Initially, its purpose was to support the military industry by training talented optical engineers capable of competing with their German counterparts. Over time, the focus shifted, incorporating research in physics as a complementary field, which ultimately took precedence over the institute's original military objectives.
Today, the school is highly regarded within the academic community, as part of the optical department of Paris-Saclay University. It is also known as the place where Nobel Prize laureate Alain Aspect conducted his groundbreaking work in 1982, demonstrating the violation of Bell's inequalities.
The institute is also recognized as a leader in entrepreneurship and innovation, offering a distinctive major course. More recently, it has further cemented its role in the innovative sector with the launch of its innovation hub, the 503, located just behind the main building of Paris-Saclay University.
During my time at the institute, I participated in several core courses, including:
