| POPsud
(Pôle
Optique
et
Photonique
sud),
a
non-profit
organisation
set
up
in
2000
at
the
initiative
of
industry
and
researchers,
is
today
a
community
of
more
than
155
highly
committed
members,
who
play
key
roles
in
industrial
development,
research
and
higher
education
in
optics,photonics
and
image
processing.
It
is
a
network
that
lives,
communicates
and
works
to
promote
a
field
of
expertise,
photonics,
in
the
South
of
France,
with
the
aim
of
raising
it
to
the
first
rank
at
national
and
European
scale.

POPsud
also
represents
years
of
experience
in
providing
pooled
technological
tools
for
the
benefit
of
companies
and
laboratories,
shared
platforms
that
provide
a
bridge
between
fundamental
research
and
industry.
Finally,
POPsud
represents
the
emergence
of
leading-edge
structure-building
projects
such
as
the
European
project
OPTITEC
that
is
based
on
the
‘Complex
Optical
and
Imaging
Systems’
Competivity
Cluster.
The
aim
of
POPsud
is
to
valorise
and
develop
photonics
in
the
Provence-Alpes-Côte
d’Azur
(PACA)
Region,and
more
broadly
throughout
the
South
of
France
The
photonics
cluster
is
based
on
leading
edge
research
and
a
dynamic
industry
in
eight
major
industrial
sectors,
including
three
that
are
linked
to
work
in
hostile
environments:
Space,
Energy,
Sea,
Health,
Telecoms,
Microelectronics,
Environment,
Industrial
Processes.
Since
2001,
OPTITEC
cluster
gives
the
label
more
than
50
joint
R&D,
associating
representative
of
industry
and
academia.
The
project
of
our
cluster
is
to
build
a
European
center
for
innovation
in
optical
and
imaging
complex
systems.

Optics
as
a
science,
technology,
and
base
for
industry,
consumer
goods,
and
health
care
makes
a
significant
contribution
to
society
and
has
a
great
potential
for

(EOS)
serves
as
the
joint
