Offer Description
We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher with interest and experience in integrated and nano- photonics to join the Silicon Photonics team at C2N. The activities will be carried out in the framework of the ERC-funded project BEAMS. The project aims at developing fully integrated photonic systems for the generation, control, and reception of free-space laser beams. Optical communications and LiDAR are the main application targets.
The successful candidate will contribute to the project being responsible for the development of integrated arrays of photonic antennas. Responsibilities will include the fabrication process in the C2N cleanroom; the design, simulation, and layout of the devices; the optical characterizations for design validation and optimization. Activities will be carried out in collaboration with the PI, the PhD students already working on the project, and engineers at C2N.
The Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (C2N) is a joint research center between CNRS, Université Paris-Saclay, and Université Paris Cité located in Palaiseau, near Paris. It performs world-class research in the domains of photonics, materials, nanoelectronics, microsystems, and nanofluidics. C2N relies on a staff of almost 400 people and hosts one of the largest university nanofabrication facilities in France, with a cleanroom of 2900 m2.
Within C2N, the Silicon Photonics group (https://minaphot.c2n.universite-paris-saclay.fr/en/ ) has a vast expertise on passive and active photonic devices on silicon, silicon nitride, and germanium. The group is at the forefront of photonics research, with several pioneering demonstrations of optoelectronic devices including optical modulator, photodetectors, passive devices, subwavelength metamaterials, and metasurfaces. The group has access to several optical setups for the active and passive characterization of photonic devices from 600 nm to 16μm wavelength. The main intended applications of the research group are optical telecommunications/interconnects, microwave-photonics, biochemical and gas sensing, spectroscopy, quantum photonics, and datacom.
This job position offers the possibility to work within an enthusiastic and international-friendly team in the outstanding environment of C2N and covered by a long-term European grant (ERC). We offer access to state-of-the-art fabrication infrastructures and characterization laboratories, with the possibility to propose and investigate novel research ideas.
