OLYMPIA concept and achievements are the subject of an article in "Lettre Innovation CNRS".

Lucien did a great job and a great Ph.D. defense!
In his talk, he showed the very last results of the OLYMPIA project, with in particular the demonstration of AFM close-loop operation using a 130-MHz optomechanical probe, and also the first experiment of AFM imaging in air! The OLYMPIA concept and technology are now reality!
Congratulations Dr Schwab, we all are proud of you!

Two manuscripts are now published in Nanoscale and IEEE TCST!

The Nanoscale communication shows for the first time that the optomechanical probes are capable to sense near-field forces when the probe tip interacts with the sample with a great sensitivity and bandwidth.

The next and final meeting of the project is planned in Paris on September 25^th 2019. Four years of a great adventure with numerous scientific, technical and technological challenges and achievements towards high-speed optomechanical AFM!

In January, Lucien will attend the IEEE MEMS conference in Seoul! His accepted communication shows the exquisite sensitivity of the optomechanical detection at the fundamental limit of the Brownian motion. Good news for the measurement resolution of the OLYMPIA optomechanical AFM probes!

This fall 2018 we gave 4 talks in national and international events, 2 of them being invited presentations at AVS Symposium and IEEE IEDM! These were the chance to show results obtained on optomechanical probes fabricated using the VLSI technology at CEA-LETI.
