The Big Picture
Over the years, we developed a unique technology to bring a material with extremely strong Pockels coefficients into a scalable silicon photonic platform. Having such physical effect available in integrated photonics circuits has been a scientific and technological breakthrough, which enables the realization of advanced photonic structures and completely new applications, e.g. for photonic AI networks and quantum computing. At Lumiphase, we are bringing this new technology to market, while at the same time developing new scientific and technological concepts. The master project is placed in the heart of our R&D activities and bridges topics related to materials development, optical characterization and photonic devices design and simulations.
Details about the project
During this master or internship project, you will work in tight interaction with the Lumiphase R&D team to develop techniques to analyze the performance of Pockels-enhanced silicon photonics circuits. You will perform theoretical and practical work and get a broad background into industrial driven R&D activities in the field of integrated photonics for optical communication. The work during the internship is technology driven, and includes:
- Electro-optical simulations of photonic devices using advanced simulation tools (e.g. COMSOL)
- Working on a customized electro-optical setup, including the design and assembly of hardware components
- Performing (electro-)optical measurements using fiber-optical characterization setups
- Analyzing experimental data, including the development of scripts, data visualization, and error analysis.
The duration of the project work will be determined in accordance with the regulations of your university but needs to be at least 6 months.
Status: Available
