Beschrijving

Work Activities:

How do you design optical metasurfaces that efficiently radiate UV light by nonlinear frequency conversion? How do the geometry of meta-atoms and their arrangement in the metasurface translate into beam structuring, i.e., control over the amplitude, phase and polarization distribution of the emitted light ? What physical mechanisms determine how the nonlinear emission is sensitive to metasurface geometry, thus revealing structural information of interest for metrology? You will perform electromagnetic design and theory hand in hand with experiments on nonlinear optical metasurfaces that you fabricate in the AMOLF cleanroom, and of which you probe third harmonic, as well as higher order emission.

Qualifications:

Work environment:

The research activities in the Resonant Nanophotonics group at AMOLF aim at developing nanoscale photonic structures, such as plasmonics and metasurfaces, to control scattering, emission, amplification and detection of light.

The group spans the entire research cycle from developing advanced nanophotonics concepts using state of the art theory and numerical design, to nanofabrication of designed structures in the Amsterdam NanoLab cleanroom at AMOLF and the development of state of the art optical scatterometry and microscopy methods.

Working conditions:

The working atmosphere at the institute is largely determined by young, enthusiastic, mostly foreign employees. Communication is informal and runs through short lines of communication.
The position is intended as fulltime (40 hours / week, 12 months / year) appointment in the service of the Netherlands Foundation of Scientific Research Institutes (NWO-I) for the duration of four years
The starting salary is 2.781 Euro's gross per month and a range of employment benefits.
After successful completion of the PhD research a PhD degree will be granted at a Dutch University.
Several courses are offered, specially developed for PhDstudents.
