Today's microelectronics industry pushes miniaturization to its limits and faces important challenges. Analternative is to use light to control and transfer information, like in fiber-optics telecommunication.Nanophotonics - the science that studies the interactions of light with matter on the nanometric scale - is at theheart of on-chip optical devices to interface and replace traditional electronics. Nanophotonic quantum dotlasers and resonators are key technologies to build photonic integrated circuits. Applied research innanophotonics at the Cégep de l'Outaouais will focus on adapting these technologies - initially developed fortelecommunications applications - to biomedical instrumentation, with possible applications in photodynamictherapy and biosensing (parallel DNA sequencing, real-time pathogen detection, ...). This research is part of aglobal initiative at Cégep de l'Outaouais to increase its contribution to applied research, entrepreneurship, andspecialized technical education in the Outaouais region. The inauguration of its new research and innovationcenter in the Winter 2018 will help and support collaborations with local industrial partners, a key aspect ofthis research.

当今的微电子工业将小型化推向了极限，并面临着重要的挑战。另一种方法是利用光来控制和传输信息，比如光纤通信。纳米光子学--研究纳米尺度上光与物质相互作用的科学--是芯片上光学器件的核心，它可以连接和取代传统的电子器件。纳米光子量子点激光器和谐振器是构建光子集成电路的关键技术。Cégep de l 'Outaouais的纳米光子学应用研究将侧重于将这些技术-最初为电信应用开发-应用于生物医学仪器，可能应用于光动力疗法和生物传感（并行DNA测序，实时病原体检测等）。这项研究是Cégep de l 'Outaouais agreement倡议的一部分，旨在增加其对Outaouais地区应用研究，创业和专业技术教育的贡献。2018年冬季新的研究和创新中心的落成将有助于和支持与当地工业合作伙伴的合作，这是这项研究的一个关键方面。
