Multilevel Switching Metasurfaces for Optical Computing

AMOLF; Amsterdam; Sur place; EUR 6 700 - 9 500; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

AMOLF in Amsterdam invites a motivated Master’s student to join the Resonant Nanophotonics group on a thesis project about realizing multilevel switching in metasurfaces for optical computing. You will explore how phase change materials can be reversibly switched with local laser heating to create programmable optical devices.

The project may include simulations, cleanroom fabrication, and optical characterization in the laser lab, with supervision by AMOLF researchers.

Qualifications

• Enrolled in a Master’s program in physics, chemistry, materials science, or a related field.
• Nationality of an EU-member state and/or student at a university in the Netherlands; internship must be mandatory for curriculum.
• Available for at least 5 months, longer is preferable.
• The internship is part of AMOLF's research activities in metasurfaces and optical computing.

Responsabilités

• Investigate multilevel switching in metasurfaces using phase change materials and local laser heating.
• Conduct numerical simulations to model switching behavior and state quantization.
• Perform cleanroom fabrication and optical characterization in the laser lab as needed.
• Collaborate with AMOLF researchers and contribute to reporting and dissemination of results.
