PhD Position in Multiplexed Photon Sources for Quantum Technologies
Develop and characterize silicon photonic chips for scalable quantum communication and computing applications.
Best for:Best for graduate researchers with a background in optics, photonics, or quantum technologies seeking a PhD in silicon photonics.
Overview
This doctoral position focuses on the design, fabrication monitoring, and laboratory characterization of multiplexed photon sources using silicon photonics. Based at the Photonics Integration Laboratory on Silicon (LETI) in France, the research aims to overcome single-source limitations by implementing efficient on-chip photon generation and integrated filtering. The selected candidate will work closely with research staff to advance scalable optical devices operating at room temperature for quantum technologies. Expected duties include experimental testing, data analysis, and contributing to project documentation and scientific publications.
What you'll do
- Design and optimize multiplexed photon sources on silicon chips.
- Monitor the fabrication processes of photonic devices in cleanroom environments.
- Perform comprehensive laboratory characterization of generated photonic qubits and optical components.
- Develop integrated optical filters with high rejection rates to isolate target photons.
- Analyze experimental data and present findings to project collaborators and scientific venues.
