PhD/Postdoctoral: Novel Nanoplasmonic Concepts 3370 views

PhD/Postdoctoral level on the development of novel nanoplasmonic concepts and devices for photonics 

Research Area: Photonics, nanoplasmonics nonlinear optics, terahertz spectroscopy

Overview

 Professor Razzari is interested in investigating the fundamental aspects of radiation-matter interactions on unusual temporal and spatial scales, in view of creating new tools for photonic applications.

Project Description

The lab exploits the ultrafast (down to few femtoseconds) and ultra-broadband (from ultraviolet to terahertz) nature of nanoplasmonics, which studies the interaction of electromagnetic fields with metallic nanostructures. Nanoplasmonics is able to bring light down to the nanoscale, strongly enhancing the local electric field, and thus carries great promises for an effective miniaturization of photonic technologies and for the on-chip integration of linear and nonlinear optical functions with state-of-the-art electronic circuits.

Positions with financial support are currently available at the PhD/Postdoc level on the development of novel nanoplasmonic concepts and devices for photonics.

Requirements

1. Highly motivated, creative students with a university degree in a relevant discipline (physics, physical engineering, electrical engineering or equivalent).
2. They should have willingness to work in a team and undertake independent learning.
3. Previous experience in numerical modeling of electromagnetic processes and/or in advanced optical setup development will be an asset.
