M2 Laser Optics Matter

Understand and use specialised physics knowledge with the requisite scientific rigour.

From the beginning of the academic year 2021-22, the M2 LOM and the M2 Nanosciences merge to become the M2 QLMN : Quantum, Light, Materials and Nano Sciences.

The M2 QLMN offers a specialization through three programs:
- Light and Matter
- Condensed matter and its interface
- Nanodevices and Technologies
The M2 LOM, whose themes will be taken up by the program "Light and Matter" of the M2 QLMN, addresses the major areas of optics, light-matter interaction and properties of matter (atoms, molecules, solids, plasmas). It focuses on the nonlinear aspects of physics (lasers, nonlinear electromagnetism) and on the quantum properties of matter interacting with light.

The Master "Laser optical material" (LOM) addresses the major areas of optics, light-matter interaction and properties of matter (atoms, molecules, solids, plasmas). It focuses on the nonlinear aspects of physics (lasers, nonlinear electromagnetism) and on the quantum properties of matter interacting with light.

The program addresses both fundamental, theoretical and experimental aspects, and applications. The program is constructed on a common core (from September to December) to allow students to take in a second period (Jan-February) more specific elective courses in major areas such as ultra-intense lasers and X-ray sources, nanophotonics and optoelectronics, atomic and molecular physics, quantum optics, biophysics, imaging ... the second semester is devoted to an internship with a minimum duration of 4 months.
