Leader: CNRS/UB-CELIA — Prof. Inka Manek-Hönninger
Coordinates the overall project, monitors deliverables and milestones, manages financial and legal reporting to the European Commission.
Optics
Leader: CRYTUR – Antonin Fajstavr
Designs and manufactures all custom optical components for 2 µm wavelength operation: beam telescopes, focusing lenses, axicons for Bessel-beam shaping, and anti-reflective coatings.
Laser systems
Leader: RUB/PULS – Prof. Clara Saraceno
Develops two complementary laser systems: (1) a single-pulse 2 µm laser system and (2) the first GHz-burst amplifier at 2 µm developed by PULS group.
Integration
Leader: LASEA – David Bruneel
Designs and builds a full industrial-grade laser processing workstation integrating a 2 µm laser system, galvo scanner, custom optics, and control software.
Material processing
Leader: CNRS — Prof. Inka Manek-Hönninger
The scientific heart of the project. Conducts parametric drilling studies in silicon first with the single-pulse prototype, then with the GHz-burst system.
Dissemination
Leader: RAYVEN – Célia Millon
Maximizes the visibility and impact of STAY2ME through open-access publications, conference presentations, trade show participation, a project website, LinkedIn presence, and two major workshops.
