Satoshi Kawata received his B.S. and Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Osaka University in 1974 and 1979, respectively. After the experience of a postdoctoral fellow in Japan, he spent two years at the University of California, Irvine, as a postdoctoral scientist. Kawata joined the Department of Applied Physics of Osaka University as an Assistant Professor in 1981, and was promoted to a full Professor in 1993 and a Distinguished Professor in 2013. He has also been a Professor of the Department of Frontier Biosciences and School of Information Sciences at Osaka University. Kawata founded the Photonics Advanced Research Center (PARC) at Osaka University in 2007, where he was the Executive Director until 2016. In PARC, he initiated collaborations between 23 professors of 8 departments and more than 10 partners from various industries to peruse a variety of research collaborations, which resulted not only in high-level product-oriented research, but also in the birth of at least 5 startups at the university. Kawata also led a research group on nanophotonics as a Chief Scientist in RIKEN from 2002 to 2015. He is now a Professor Emeritus of Osaka University and Honorary Scientist in RIKEN. He founded two companies, one of which is a laser-scanning Raman microscope company, Nanophoton, established in 2002, where he has been the Chairman.

Satoshi Kawata has been an OSA member since 1980, and served as the Chair of the International Council (2009-2010), member of the OSA Executive Committee (2009-2010) and on the OSA Board of Directors (2009-2010). He has served on a few OSA committees and councils, and organized topical meetings for OSA. He has been the advisor for the OSA Student Chapter of Osaka University, the first OSA student chapter in Japan, which now has nine chapters. He has given lectures at many student chapters including Stanford University, University of Sao Paulo and Utsunomiya University.

Satoshi Kawata was the President of Japan Society of Applied Physics (2014-2015), President of Spectroscopical Society of Japan (2007-2008), General Chair of Nano Science and Engineering of SPIE (2012-13), Editor of Optics Communications (2000-2009) and the Regional Representative of Journal of Microscopy (1988-2014). He chaired and organized a few international conferences, including Near Field Optics (1998), Focus on Microscopy (2000, 2008) and UV Nanophotonics (2013).

Satoshi Kawata is one of the pioneers of near field optics (the inventor of tip-enhanced near-field microscopy), 3D microscopy, 3D optical data storage, plasmonics (SPR sensors, plasmonic nano-microscopy, plasmon holography, etc.), two-photon engineering (two-photon polymerization, two-photon isomerization, two-photon reduction, etc.), bio-molecular imaging, molecular spectroscopy and signal recovery. He has authored/edited more than 30 books and published more than 520 papers with h-index 72 (Web of Science). The "8-micron bull" fabricated with his invented two-photon technology has been awarded in Guinness Book of World Records 2004 Edition. He was awarded the Medal with Purple Ribbon from the Emperor of Japan, Leo Esaki Prize, LVMH da Vinci Excellence, Shimadzu Award and many others. He is a Fellow of Optica, SPIE, IOP and JSAP.

Brady focuses on computational imaging. Brady led the joint Duke University and University of Arizona team that built the world’s first gigapixel camera in 2012. His subsequent work has focused on reducing the size, weight, power and cost of gigapixel cameras while also improving depth of field, color fidelity, frame rate and other measures of image quality. Brady’s current work focuses on aperture synthesis and interferometric super-resolution techniques to continue to push the physical limits of optical sensing. His lab relies heavily on artificial neural networks for camera system control, data management and image estimation. He has also pioneered compressive tomographic imaging systems for efficient hyperspectral, high frame rate, x-ray and millimeter wave imaging.

Dr. Joel England obtained his PhD in accelerator physics at the University of California Los Angeles, where he developed a method of generating tailored drive beams for more efficient excitation of plasma-based particle accelerators. In 2008, Dr. England joined the Advanced Accelerator Research Department at SLAC as a postdoc working on optical-scale particle accelerators powered by solid state lasers. As a recipient of the Panofsky Fellowship, he led the Dielectric Laser Acceleration Group at SLAC from 2010 to 2015. This led to the first demonstrations of high-gradient acceleration in laser-driven dielectric structures conducted in collaboration with Prof. Robert Byer at Stanford. Dr. England is currently a lead scientist at SLAC and the Head of Accelerator Operations for the Ultrafast Electron Diffraction program. He serves as co-leader and executive committee member for the Accelerator on a Chip International Program (ACHIP), which aims to develop a laser-driven microchip particle accelerator.

　Henri Porte, 62, is Vice President of iXblue group. With a scientific background, he defended a PhD thesis in optics and signal processing at the University of Besançon in 1985. He then joined the CNRS as a research fellow at the PM Duffieux Optics Laboratory. He developed a research activity in the field of optical modulators based on lithium niobate. In 1998, as CNRS Research Director, he participated to the creation in Metz of the Franco-American Laboratory "GTL-CNRS-Telecom" in partnership with Georgia Tech of atlanta University. In 2000, he still created in Besançon, the company Photline Technologies and became its CEO. In 2014, Photline joined the iXblue group. He is then Vice-President of the iXblue Photonics Division. After the merger between iXblue and ECA Group in 2022 to create the company EXAIL, he is now Director of strategy for the Photonics business of EXAIL. Henri Porte has published more than 150 articles in scientific journals and international conferences, he is co-inventor of nineteen patents, and has supervised a dozen thesis.

During this presentation, I will describe the activities of the company exail which results from the merger in autumn 2022 of the French companies iXblue and ECA, forming a group of 1500 people with a wide offer of advanced industrial solutions structured around four poles. I will place a particular emphasis on the photonics pole.  In recent years, this pole has been established to assert itself as a European leader in the most advanced photonic technologies.

The approach around photonics was first motivated by a vertical integration strategy to secure the supply of the key components of the fiber optic gyroscope (FOG) that are the lithium niobate optical phase modulator and the polarization maintaining fiber coil. This strategy has ensured a very high degree of independence for the exail-iXblue core business of FOG-based inertial navigation systems (INS). Today, high speed optical modulation solutions and specialty optical fiber are the two first building blocks of the Photonics pole.

More recently, in 2021, two new photonic activities joined exail-iXblue.  The first, the activity of integrated photonic systems, is based on positioning of optical components in free space without dynamic alignment and leading to solutions that are both stable and compact.  The second is dedicated to quantum sensors that take advantage of the physics of atoms laser cooling to develop quantum gravimeters. Today these industrial instruments offer performance unparalleled with previous generations of gravimeters.
