Mission The Laboratory of Photonics and Quantum Measurements (LPQM) at EPFL invites applications for a PhD position on the development of novel anomalous ferro-electric crystal based photonic integrated circuits.
The project aims to establish a novel platform for integrated photonics, based on anomalous ferro-electric materials and to explore its exceptional electro-optic properties for ultrafast and compact devices.
The research will focus on the fabrication of thin films from crystals grown in house, development of nanofabrication processes, and realization of photonic devices such as high-speed modulators and tunable lasers.
