Introduction

Nanotechnologies and their applications in the field of optics, through innovative materials, devices for light-matter control at the nanoscale, or bio-detection, represent a mojor technological chalenge.
The Optics and Nanotechnologies master (ONT) objective is to meet a growing need in a strongly developing field.

ONT is one of the 4 master II degrees related to the cursus named "Mention Applied Physics and Physical Engineering". The degree is jointly awarded by UTT and the Université de Reims Champagne-Ardenne.

The full Master list is given below :
  • Physique, Spectrométrie, Ingénierie et Instrumentation (M1 and M2 in Reims city)
  • Sciences Physique, Agrégation (M1 and M2 in Reims)
  • Optics and Nanotechnologies (M2 at UTT, taught in english)
  • Mécanique, Matériaux et Procédés Avancés (M2 à l’UTT)

Pedagogical objectives

The Master 2 ONT is based on nano-optics as a transversal discipline in order to tackle a very broad and particularly rewarding field: nanotechnologies.
The ONT course offers training mainly in the field of nanosciences and related physical sciences. It trains in research & Developement (R&D) in the field of nanotechnologies via the tools and methods of nano-optics (understanding of physical phenomena, modeling), the fabrication of nanostructures and materials, the characterization of their physico-chemical properties in particular by nanoscopy, nanospectroscopy and other local probe techniques.


Professionnal Objectives

The ONT training leads students in R&D in nanotechnologies, a field with a strong fundamental component and multiple applications: plasmonics, lighting, biomedical and environmental sciences (biosensors, energy production and storage, decontamination).

Taught entirely in english, the training is international oriented.


Objectives related to research

Research themes

The courses are oriented towards nanosciences and their challenges (energy, sensors): detection of individual objects, control of light-matter interactions, plasmonics, energy transfer and modeling in nano-photonics. 


Labs

This master II cursus is supported by research teams in UTT :  

3 reasons to choose this Master

A diploma resolutely focused on Research & Developement
ONT master leads to careers in research through academic route (PhD thesis) or companies (Ingénieur R&D), in internationally recognized laboratories.     
A master oriented toward international
Taught in english, ONT training is a gateway to an internationally oriented professional career. It also provides access to double Master's degree with partner universities (Taiwan, Germany, Mexico) via a semester abroad.
A recognized national Master's degree
The Optics and Nanotechnologies programme is a national Master's degree, recognised as a European post-graduate diploma and university degree.
