About: Optical materials, photonics and systems laboratory

The optical materials, photonics and systems laboratory (LMOPS) gathers researchers from Lorraine university and from CentraleSupélec, in the cities of Metz, Saint-Avold and Thionville. The research themes lie in the fields of materials in general and optical materials more specifically, non linear optics, optical sensors and photovotaics. Almost 30 researchers are working in the laboratory, side by side with roughly the same number of PhD students. The LMOPS was created in the year 2000, building from its ancestor, the Laboratoire Matériaux optiques à propriétés spécifiques, which belonged to the Metz university, which teamed with Supélec in 2000.
