Site Overview

This google-hosted site gives an overview of some selected research activities that I have been involved in over many years.  This "personal" site complements the official site of the Optoelectronics Group that I currently direct at the CNRS Institut FEMTO-ST and the University of Franche-Comté.  This site (in French) is located here.  A report of the group's activities over 2002-2006 (again in French) is available here. 

I intend to progressively fill this site with a selection of what I hope will be interesting and useful material and links.  I would be delighted to add links to other sites with related material.  Please send me an email.
