Mission The Laboratory of Photonics and Quantum Measurements (LPQM) at EPFL is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to develop next generation photonic integrated circuits based on novel ferro-electric materials.
This project aims to establish, for the first time, ferro-electric crystal on insulator technology with material, exhibiting anomalous optical properties and demonstrate high-speed, tunable integrated photonic devices.
The researcher will play a central role in developing bonding and fabrication processes for thin film crystals, designing and realizing low-loss photonic circuits, and demonstrating high-performance devices such as ultrafast tunablelasers.
