The Joint Centre for Extreme Photonics (JCEP) was formed in 2019 as a joint undertaking between the National Research Council<\/a>\u00a0(NRC) and the\u00a0University of Ottawa<\/a> (uOttawa).\u00a0 It is composed of 12 Fellows: 6 from NRC and 6 from uOttawa.\u00a0 Extreme photonics covers research topics ranging from single-photon sources to intense femtosecond lasers.<\/p>\n

Vision<\/h2>\n

The Joint Centre for Extreme Photonics (JCEP) will be recognized globally as an outstanding government-university partnership to accelerate world-class research in extreme and quantum photonics.<\/p>\n

Mission<\/h2>\n

JCEP will strengthen Canada\u2019s photonics ecosystem by integrating the efforts of the University of Ottawa (UOttawa) and the National Research Council Canada (NRC) in extreme and quantum photonics into collaborative projects with the ultimate goal of finding creative and sustainable solutions to Canada\u2019s socio-economic and environmental challenges.<\/p>\n

Core Values<\/h2>\n

JCEP will thrive within the framework of both institutions core values, in particular: commitment to developing strong partnerships, passion for lifelong learning, creativity and innovation, excellence in teaching, scholarship, research and service, integrity, and respect.<\/p>\n

Goals<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Research<\/strong>: expand research capacity through collaborative projects, leveraging resources from each institution.<\/li>\n
  • Training<\/strong>: enriching the experience of graduate students and post-doctoral fellows through research activities in both government and academic labs.<\/li>\n
  • Partnerships and reputation<\/strong>: enhancing the opportunities for partnership with third party institutions (e.g. industry, international research Centres) thus strengthening the regional and national ecosystem in photonics and increasing its reputation and profile.<\/li>\n
  • Infrastructure<\/strong>: expand the capacity to fund state-of-the-art infrastructure through joint CFI applications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The National Research Council of Canada and the University of Ottawa create a new innovation hub<\/h2>\n

    Announcement of a new research partnership for the Joint Centre for Extreme Photonics<\/b><\/p>\n

    OTTAWA<\/span>,\u00a0Jan. 31, 2020<\/span>\u00a0\/CNW\/ – Business leaders, researchers, and students today celebrated the launch of the Joint Centre for Extreme Photonics (JCEP) in\u00a0Ottawa<\/span>. Established by the\u00a0National Research Council<\/span>\u00a0of\u00a0Canada<\/span>\u00a0(NRC) and the\u00a0University of Ottawa<\/span>\u00a0(uOttawa), this innovative hub for extreme and quantum photonics research\u00a0will unite the strongest research team in this field, in the country, and reinforce\u00a0Canada’s<\/span>\u00a0leading role in photonics, the science of light.<\/p>\n

    The NRC and uOttawa have a long-standing research relationship in the field of photonics; this new collaboration centre focuses on collective research and development in atomic, molecular, and optical physics, specializing in ultrafast quantum photonics, high-accuracy clocks, attosecond science, and nanophotonics. It also provides training opportunities for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. The JCEP team is composed of world-class researchers whose work will lead to new technologies, patents, and innovations.<\/p>\n

    To help position\u00a0Canada<\/span>\u00a0as a global leader, the NRC is increasing its collaboration with regional ecosystems, universities, polytechnic institutions, and colleges by establishing collaboration centres across the country.<\/p>\n

    Photonics is one of uOttawa’s strategic areas of research. Its photonics research program is one of the best in the world.<\/p>\n

    Quotes<\/b><\/p>\n

    “This collaboration centre brings together leading researchers to make significant advances in photonics for Canadians and Canadian businesses. Thanks to our partnership with the\u00a0University of Ottawa<\/span>, the Joint Centre for Extreme Photonics will also capitalize on significant investments in talent and infrastructure, while providing succession planning for some of\u00a0Canada’s<\/span>\u00a0most eminent scientists.”
    Iain Stewart<\/span>
    <\/i>President,\u00a0National Research Council<\/span>\u00a0of\u00a0Canada<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

    “The creation of the Joint Centre for Extreme Photonics is an important milestone in the\u00a0University of Ottawa’s<\/span>\u00a0long-established partnership with the\u00a0National Research Council<\/span>\u00a0of\u00a0Canada<\/span>. This partnership will be instrumental to further cement\u00a0Canada’s<\/span>\u00a0reputation as a global force in photonics research.”
