PhD: Nano-Photonics & Fibre Cavities for Quantum Tech

Universität Basel; Basel; Vor Ort; CHF 48.000 - 60.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Universität Basel, in collaboration with the Nano Photonics and Photonic Ultrafast Systems Groups, invites applications for a 100% PhD position starting 1 January 2027 to explore fibre cavities and quantum photonics.

You will generate sub-micron Bessel beams, perform nano-machining with femtosecond lasers, and design open micro-cavities for quantum communications, combining ultrafast laser science with quantum optics.

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.

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.
• 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.
