Offer Description
Bulk doped crystals will be integrated by transfer onto a glass substrate to form an elementary optical waveguide. This will then be thinned down to micron size and shaped into a one-dimensional waveguide in collaboration with a collaborating institute. The resulting device can be compared with the initial bulk material, using high-resolution spectroscopy and a memory protocol. The candidate should have a background in light-matter interaction and optics. Internship experience in this field would be highly appreciated. An interest in manufacturing and materials science is also expected.
The work will be carried out at the Institut Néel in Grenoble and will be supervised by researchers from the NPSC team for the monitoring of the thesis project and training on the equipment. Occasional missions to national laboratories partnering the project are also possible.
The Institut NEEL, UPR 2940 CNRS, is one of the largest French national research institutes for fundamental research in condensed matter physics enriched by interdisciplinary activities at the interfaces with chemistry, engineering, and biology. The laboratory is related to the CNRS Physique and is located in the heart of a unique scientific, industrial, and cultural environment, part of one of Europe's biggest high-tech environments in micro- and nanoelectronics, right next to the French Alpes.
The job is linked to the NPSC team, which explores new physical phenomena related to photons, electrons, and spin, at the quantum scale, in II-VI and III-V semiconductors nanostructures.
The employee will integrate doped crystals to fabricate a quantum memory on a photonic circuit.
