About Us

III-V Lab, a private R&D organisation jointly established by Alcatel-Lucent and Thales in 2004 under the French "Economic Interest Group" (GIE) status, concentrates in a single entity the most advanced industrial research capabilities in the field of III-V semiconductors in Europe.

Such structure has enabled the rapid development of a common platform for dual use opto- and micro-electronic technology; it has been considered that both partners have brought balanced efforts, skills, equipment and background IPs, so that the costs of this common laboratory may be equally shared.
