Topic: Optical Links exploiting Power-over-Fiber and Raman Amplification for Sensor Control: Architectures, Challenges and Recent Applications
André Pérennou received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Brest, France, in 1989 and 1994, respectively. In 1995, he joined the École Nationale d’Ingénieurs de Brest (ENIB) as an Associate Professor, and he has been a Full Professor since 2010. He is currently with Bretagne INP – ENIB, Brest, and conducts his research within the Lab-STICC (CNRS UMR 6285). His current research interests include acousto-optic interaction for optical communication devices and networks, as well as power-over-fiber (PoF) for the remote powering and control of sensors in harsh environments, with applications such as future networks and marine environments.
