M2 Laser Optics Matter
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.
Understand and use specialised physics knowledge with the requisite scientific rigour.
- The programme is mainly intended to lead to a thesis, and 75% of students in this M2 go down this route. Over 200 Internship/thesis subjects are offered each year to students on the course.
- The other main opening is in Research and Development (R&D) professions: development of lasers, design of optical instruments, image processing, security, microelectronics, telecommunications, materials for optics, large instruments, optoelectronics components and systems optoelectronics, etc. All these fields fall within the scope of the activities of large groups such as Thales, Sagem, ESSILOR, L'Oréal, Alcatel-Lucent, Saint Gobain, Quantel, STMicro, not to mention ONERA, CNES, CEA (Laser MegaJoule , LETI), and so on.
The required level is an M1 in Physics, or equivalent. This study path is open to 2nd-year engineering students who wish to do an M2 in their 3rd year. Addressing notions of fundamental physics, students will deepen their knowledge in the field of optics and on the properties of recording media. The programme is also open to international students who have already completed 2 semesters in equivalent studies abroad.
This study path prepares students for a wide variety of different jobs: most go on to doctoral programmes (fundamental or applied physics, interface between physics and other disciplines) to embark on research or research and development careers, or go into third-cycle teaching posts. Some will become executives in the private sector, while others will work as study or research engineers in public organisations. Yet others will work for companies that require high-level scientific knowledge and skills.
