However, their cost and performance are often hampered by the limitations of traditional substrates and manufacturing processes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To meet these challenges, a partnership between the Universit\u00e9 de Sherbrooke and two complementary industrial companies has been formed, exploiting the innovative PEELER technique developed by the Universit\u00e9 de Sherbrooke. They aim to develop high-performance laser diodes using reusable engineered substrates, promising improved efficiency, higher performance, lower manufacturing costs and reduced environmental impact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The potential spin-offs of this collaboration are manifold: reducing Quebec&#8217;s dependence on global supply chains, training the next generation in a field where there is a severe shortage of manpower, and strengthening Quebec&#8217;s leadership in this field. In addition, continuous improvement of the PEELER technology should enable multiple reuse of germanium substrates, create a supply chain between the two project partners, and enable large-scale manufacture of high-performance, cost-competitive lasers. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<section class=\"partners-carrousel aligndefault\" id=\"partners-carrousel-69eb76f128324\">\n  <h2 class=\"partners-carrousel__title\">Organisation (s)<\/h2>\n<div class=\"swiper swiper-partners\">\n  <div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lasercomponents.com\/us\/\" class=\"swiper-slide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n          <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"444\" height=\"113\" src=\"https:\/\/promptinnov.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/images-1.png\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/promptinnov.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/images-1.png 444w, https:\/\/promptinnov.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/images-1-300x76.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 444px) 100vw, 444px\" \/>        <\/a>\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usherbrooke.ca\/\" class=\"swiper-slide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n          <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"331\" src=\"https:\/\/promptinnov.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image-3.png\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/promptinnov.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image-3.png 1280w, https:\/\/promptinnov.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image-3-300x78.png 300w, https:\/\/promptinnov.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image-3-1024x265.png 1024w, https:\/\/promptinnov.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image-3-768x199.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/>        <\/a>\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.umicore.ca\/en\/\" class=\"swiper-slide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n          <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"444\" height=\"444\" src=\"https:\/\/promptinnov.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Umicore.png\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/promptinnov.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Umicore.png 444w, https:\/\/promptinnov.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Umicore-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/promptinnov.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Umicore-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 444px) 100vw, 444px\" \/>        <\/a>\n          <\/div>\n  <div class=\"swiper-navigation\">\n    <div class=\"swiper-button-prev\"><\/div>\n    <div class=\"swiper-button-next\"><\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4741,"template":"","funded-project-category":[166,173,169],"location":[158],"industry":[135],"class_list":["post-4742","funded-project","type-funded-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","funded-project-category-2025-cohort","funded-project-category-it","funded-project-category-manufacturing","location-sherbrooke-en","industry-it-and-software"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/promptinnov.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/funded-project\/4742","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/promptinnov.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/funded-project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/promptinnov.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/funded-project"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/promptinnov.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4741"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/promptinnov.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4742"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"funded-project-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/promptinnov.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/funded-project-category?post=4742"},{"taxonomy":"location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/promptinnov.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location?post=4742"},{"taxonomy":"industry","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/promptinnov.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/industry?post=4742"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
