🙌 We're ecstatic to learn that Bell Labs alumnus Louis Brus has been awarded the 2023 @NobelPrize in #Chemistry. Louis worked with us between 1973 & 1996 when he discovered Quantum Dots, making this the 10th #NobelPrize awarded for work completed at Bell Labs! #Science #STEM

🏆 BREAKING: Nokia Bell Labs has been awarded five post deadline papers at #ECOC2023! Catch the presentations from our Sébastien Bigo, Di Che, Haoshuo Chen, & Qian Hu on Thursday, Oct 05. Learn more ➡️ nokia.ly/3ZDREBL #Optical #Research #Innovation @ECOC_Exhibition

After a defense on 100G optical satellite communications, praised for its quality Daniel Romero Arrieta received his well-deserved phD degree from the jury, after three years with @BellLabs @nokia Paris Saclay in collaboration with @onera_fr @tsizer @jeanlucbeylat

Proud to summarize to the general assembly of @Photonics21 the discussions of the digital infrastructure workgroup. We came up with three draft priorities for the 2025-2027 research and innovation program @jeanlucbeylat

The executive Board of @Photonics21 hands over to Thomas Skordas of the European Commission their brand new strategic research and Innovation Agenda 2023-2030. This document captures the vision of >1000 experts in photonics across Europe @jeanlucbeylat @BellLabs @SupOpAlumni

After surveying across photonics companies in Europe, Lutz Aschke, @Photonics21 President make recommendations to prevent on-going supply chain issues to repeat.

At @Photonics21 Board of Stakeholder meeting, Mike Wale tells about new white paper reviewing opportunities for integrated #photonics in perpective of the EC multi-billion € chips act. photonics21.org/download/ppp-s… Photonics should join electronics in a joint ambition for chips!

At @Photonics21 annual meeting with Board of Stakeholders, @LucillaSioli from the EC emphasizes her expectations from the EU photonics industry for the upcoming few years, advocating particularly for an augmented digital infrastructure @jeanlucbeylat @nokianetworks

Nobel laureate 2022 Prof Alain Aspect (in video and in real life) comments how intimidated he was holding the arm of the Crown Princess during the Nobel ceremony @SupOpAlumni @Photonics21 @InstitutOptique

Haik Mardoyan of @BellLabs is on the big stage @ECOC_conference to report record 260Gbaud signal generation and transmission over 100km at the prestigious Postdeadline session. Excellent job! @jeanlucbeylat

Brilliant talk from our Daniel Romero of @BellLabs and @onera_fr explaining @ECOC_Conference why an interleaver is necessary in ground-to-#satellite optical links for mitigating atmospheric turbulence. Soon >100G coherent optics in space? @tsizer @nokianetworks

In her great plenary talk at #ECOC_conférence, Dr Rugi Grond of TAS commented that @BellLabs has not been associated with satellite comms since pioneer days of #Telstar. May I suggest her to extend her stay at ECOC_2022 beyond the 1st day ?

At @Photonics21 Board of Stakeholders meeting, W. Steinhoegl @PhotonicsInEU reviews research priorities in the field of #photonics, to appear in the next 23/24 Horizon Europe framework programme. Priorities were allelaborated from proposals of @Photonics21 members. @jeanlucbeylat

Annual general meeting of ⁦@Photonics21⁩ with all the EU photonics community and with DGconnect representatives ⁦@nokia⁩ ⁦@BellLabs⁩ and ⁦@Sebbigo⁩

Worried by the shortage of chips, the EU @PhotonicsInEU creates the Chips Act, worth >€4Bn, managed under KDT joint undertaking, renamed Chips joint undertaking. This is a great opportunity to strengthen the #photonics integrated circuit industry! @Photonics21 @jeanlucbeylat

As geopolitics and COVID have been reshuffling the telecom industry (while bringing further growth!), it’s so refreshing to see a room full with operators and enterprises for face to face exchanges to discuss changes ahead @BellLabs #NokiaWavelength in Barcelona @nokianetworks

In @Nokia, we are investing a lot in network automation and analytics, building up on the pioneer work of @BellLabs in AI/M, says James Watt, Head of Optics BU #NokiaWavelength in Barcelona @nokianetworks @tsizer @jeanlucbeylat

We announce exit from the Russian market. Read our statement: nokia.ly/3KGcfx2

The photonics industry is still growing fast in France! 10.2% revenues are for telecom and quantum information. ⁦@SupOpAlumni⁩ ⁦@Photonics21⁩ ⁦@jeanlucbeylat⁩ ⁦@ECOC_Conference⁩

F. Dutheil, prof médecine du travail CHU Clermont-Ferrand: « La sédentarité est même la première cause de mortalité évitable dans les pays développés. C’est un fait malheureusement largement ignoré. » (LeMonde, Dec 9th). Waoww! Could it be that teleworking is deadlier than COVID?
