Beskrivelse
About the job
We are searching for a creative, skilled, and ambitious candidate for our activities on nonlinear integrated photonics.
The candidate aims are to design, manufacture, and study advanced photonic integrated waveguides and microresonators based on a thin-film periodically poled lithium tantalate nanowaveguide platform. The main focus will be the development of advanced nanofabrication technologies for optical waveguide fabrication with low optical loss and high optical nonlinearity to demonstrate breakthroughs in the efficiency and bandwidth of nonlinear optical amplification and frequency conversion. The research will be performed at the Department of Electronic Systems, NTNU, and supported by scientific partners in Switzerland and China.
The candidate will report to the Head of Department. The supervisor for this position is Associate Professor Johann Riemensberger.
