THE MILES PROJECT (INNOVATIVE EYE-SAFE MONOLITHIC LASER MATERIALS FOR REMOTE SENSORS) AIMS TO DESIGN AND DEVELOP INNOVATIVE SOLID-STATE MATERIALS FOR THE REALISATION OF A MONOLITHIC COMPACT LASER SOURCE WITH 1.5 MICRONS EYE-SAFE WAVELENGTH EMISSION. THE RESEARCH PROJECT WILL BE CARRIED OUT IN COLLABORATION BETWEEN BRIGHT SOLUTIONS S.R.L. (BRIGHT) AND THE INTERUNIVERSITY CONSORTIUM FOR MATERIAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (INSTM) THROUGH THE OPERATIONAL UNITS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PARMA AND THE POLYTECHNIC OF MILANO. THE MATERIAL THAT IS TO BE DEVELOPED IS OF CONSIDERABLE INTEREST FOR APPLICATIONS IN S3 SPECIALISATION AREAS OF AEROSPACE AND SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY. AS REFERENCE ECOSYSTEMS, SMART MOBILITY AND ARCHITECTURE AND TERRITORIAL SUSTAINABILITY ARE CONSIDERED.THE MONOLITHIC LASER CAVITY BASED ON INNOVATIVE MATERIALS DEVELOPED WITHIN MILES WILL REPRESENT THE HEART OF A PE SOURCE
