PhD in Nano-Photonics & Fibre Cavities for Quantum Tech

Karlstad University; Basel; Vor Ort; CHF 48.000 - 60.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

University of Basel invites applications for a PhD position in Nano Photonics with Fibre Cavities. The project spans nano-fabrication, quantum optics, and ultrafast laser development, with collaboration between Basel and Northwestern Switzerland.

You will work in an interdisciplinary setting focusing on fibre cavities and quantum communications. The role requires a BS or MS in physics/photonic engineering and hands-on lab experience with femtosecond lasers.

Qualifikationen

• BS or MS degree in physics, photonics, engineering, or a related field.
• Highly motivated for applied experimental laboratory work
• Experience with femtosecond lasers and/or quantum optics is a plus
• Experience with scientific programming and data analysis (Python, MATLAB, or similar) is a plus
• Communication and team-working skills

Aufgaben

• generate and characterize sub-micron size Bessel beams
• perform nano-machining trials of glass samples with a femtosecond pulsed laser and optimize laser parameters for the optimal mirror template
• design and build open micro-cavities with nano-machined fibres for quantum communications
• design and build a micro-cavity femtosecond laser for high data rate telecommunications
