CEA Leti has conceived a holographic printer as part of its development of optical components and systems for the field of Augmented Reality. This printer allows us to record micro-holograms that encode elementary angular functions. The current application of the printer concern the development of pixelated holograms recorded with phase and angular matching for the […] >>

The development of quantum computing threatens asymmetric cryptography. To address this threat, post-quantum cryptography (PQC) schemes, i.e. based on quantum computer resistant problems, have been proposed. The third round of the NIST PQC competition ended on July 5, 2022. The CRYSTALS-Kyber algorithm was selected for standardization. The history of cryptographic algorithms standardization shows that it […] >>

Photoplethysmography (PPG) is a non-invasive optical technique for detecting temporal variations in blood volume in tissues. PPG is used to monitor physiological parameters such as heart rate, pulse oximetry and blood pressure. PPG is a widely used method in physiological measurement systems, whether for consumer connected objects (smart watches, smartphones) or medical systems (oximeters). Even […] >>

Spatiotemporal manipulation of the near- and far-electromagnetic (EM)-field distribution and its interaction with matter in the THz spectrum (0.1-0.6 THz) is of prime importance in the development of future communication, spectroscopy, imaging, holography, and sensing systems. Reconfigurable Intelligent (Meta)Surface (RIS) is a cutting-edge hybrid analogue/digital architecture capable of shaping and controlling the THz waves at […] >>

Magnetic random access memories (MRAMs) are now on the market, in FPGAs or cache memory blocks. The concept of Perpendicular Shape Anisotropy MRAM (PSA) has been proposed to expand the MRAM market: the usual ultra-thin storage layer being replaced by a vertical magnetic pillar, allowing retention to be maintained at <10nm size and at high […] >>
