In connection with the launching of a research project financed by the Danish Research Council for Technology and Production a PhD scholarship is available. The project is a collaboration between COM•DTU at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and Alight Technologies A/S.
The goals of the research project are to develop the scientific tools and fabrication technologies needed for realizing semiconductor lasers in arrays of nano-scale optical resonators. The small volume of each resonator and the arrayed structure enables dramatic improvements in overall laser performance, such as very high modulation rate, high output power and improved energy efficiency.
The successful applicant will perform optical design, work with device fabrication in DTU's cleanroom facilities and characterize components in the optical laboratories of the nanophotonics division at COM•DTU. In addition, Alight Technologies A/S will provide access to their characterization setup and consultancy in aspects of design and process development. The project will entail both fundamental scientific investigations as well as device development with an eye on commercial exploitation.
Candidates for the position should have a master’s degree in engineering or physics and have a good experimental and/or theoretical background in optoelectronics, optics or solid-state materials physics.
The scholarships for the PhD degree are subject to academic approval, and the successful candidates will be enrolled as PhD students at the Technical University of Denmark.
The salary and further terms of employment (3 years) are consistent with the general terms for PhD students at DTU. Information about the general requirements for enrolment and the general planning of the scholarship studies is included in the general rules of DTU, which may be obtained by application to the PhD programme office at tel: +45 4525 1176 or +45 4525 1177.
