Job Description
This job aims to address some critical issues in the development of a multi-dimensional photodetector capable of simultaneously capturing optical information such as polarization, wavelength, and optical angular momentum. The main targets are threefold:
1. Understand in depth about the fundamental properties of light including helicity, chirality, polarization, and optical angular momentum. Investigate how these light properties interact with materials and/or structures with different symmetry properties. Research directions include chiral / nonreciprocal / nonlinear optical processes, integrated photonic devices, etc.
2. Study the symmetry properties of 2D materials as well as metasurfaces and nanostructures. The targeted design of a multi-dimensional photodetector should utilize these symmetry properties to enhance the effectiveness, robustness, and responsivity of photodetection of the various optical information, including but not limited to polarization and optical angular momentum.
3. Find the practical schemes to implement a multidimensional photodetector by integrating 2D materials / Tellurides with nanostructures that can allow effective, robust, and simultaneous photodetection of polarization, optical angular momentum, etc. The practical devices should also possess ultrathin nature, the ability to convert multidimensional light information to electrical signals, and the ability to operate at room temperature. At last, one or two prototypical designs should be experimentally demonstrated.
Considering the above research targets, the candidate should possess in-depth physical insights and interdisciplinary knowledge of 2D materials, symmetry analysis, metasurfaces etc. Practical experience in the design, fabrication, optical characterization and measurement of optical devices is preferred.
Qualifications
1. PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Photonics, Physics or relevant area with a strong background in the design, fabrication and optical measurement of 2D materials and/or nanostructure.
2. Working experience in the design and fabrication of 2D material-based optical devices, optical characterization and measurement of optical devices.
3. Mathematics and physics knowledge in band theory, symmetry analysis, optics, and electromagnetics.
4. Technical proficiency:
• Experience in preparation/exfoliation of layered materials for making optical devices;
• Optical path setup and optical measurement under room and low temperature involving the photoluminescence and photodetection of optical information such as polarization and wavelength.
Candidate should have strong publication records in reputed international journals in the field of photonics or optics, specifically focusing on the investigation and manipulation of optical properties of 2D materials and/or nanostructures.
