Dr. Jean-Christophe Chanteloup graduated from École Supérieure d'Optique in 1994 and received his PhD from Ecole Polytechnique in 1998. He joined the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in 2000. His fields of interest are adaptive optics on laser systems, wavefront sensing, and diode-pumped solid-state lasers (DPSSLs). Since 2015, he has been in charge of the École Polytechnique XCAN research program dedicated to coherent beam combination of dozens of fiber-amplifying channels. He is the author or co-author of 150+ communications in international conferences or papers in scientific reviews.
