Research Scientist in Photonics

5 days ago


Kongens Lyngby, Lyngby-Tårbæk Kommune, Denmark DTU - Technical University of Denmark Full time

We are seeking a talented physicist to join our team as a research scientist in photonics. The position focuses on developing resource-efficient programmable photonic circuits using thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) and tantalate (TFLT). Our approach involves cavity-based components with electrically controllable cavity-waveguide couplings that surpass the time-bandwidth limit of static cavities.

The project is funded by The Novo Nordisk Foundation and anchored at DTU Electro in the Quantum and Nanophotonics Section. We collaborate with Harvard University, where TFLN devices will be fabricated at DTU and TFLT at Harvard.

**Scientific Environment**

The scientific environment at our department is vibrant and highly collaborative with world-class scientists covering a broad range of expertise in photonics and electronics. Our Harvard collaborators pioneered low-loss TFLN photonics and recently demonstrated TFLT as a promising alternative to TFLN with improved DC voltage stability.

**Responsibilities and Qualifications**

Your primary responsibilities will be centered around the fabrication and characterization of TFLN/TFLT photonic integrated circuit (PIC) platforms. You will have the opportunity to co-supervise BSc, MSc, and PhD students, and we expect you to actively engage with the team and make your expertise available to your colleagues.
