2 Phd Positions: Applied Nanophotonics, Physics 2140 views

Two (02) Phd Positions in Applied Nanophotonics, Physics: Phd Positions on Nonlinear Integrated Photonic Signal processing at the University of Twente (Netherlands)

The group explores the physics & technology of light manipulation in which we accentuate nanophotonic approaches. This includes a wide range of light intensities & time scales, and it emphasizes research on advanced light sources that are of importance for emerging applications, such as in telecommunications (integrated microwave photonics), precision metrology or optical sensing.

Research Overview: The present research includes integrated nonlinear optics, integrated quantum optics, & integrated signal processor. The group participates in a wide network of strategic collaborates with many partners, including the Applied Nanophotonics (ANP) Research Cluster and the MESA and Institute for Nanotechnology.

The group is looking for two PhD students to carry out state-of-the-art research on Brillouin signal processors in silicon nitride.

The aim in to explore breakthrough science and building pivotal technologies based on the exquisite light & hyper-sound interactions in the nanoscale.

Participating Organizations: The vacancies are parts of University of Twente, LiSbon, the NWO Vidi project of David Marpaung, with LioniX International, Smart Photonics, PhoeniX Software, Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) and Universitat Politecnica de Valencia (UPV) as academic partners.
