Lightwave circuits using laser components based on InP and GaAs materials are the technological basis for communications on the internet and are moving towards communication over shorter distances. The route to more widespread adoption of this wide bandwidth technology is through the integration of the components onto a Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) which will lead not only to dramatic cost reduction but also increased performance. Our challenge is to develop the required advanced functionality in a manner which can be mass-produced.
We have an open position for a post-doctoral researcher to join our team in developing advanced PICs. The activities cover the design, growth, processing and characterisation of the components and the integration technology while the device circuits cover include tuneable lasers, high speed modulators, detectors and circuits for coherent communications. The position is funded by industrial projects and collaborative projects.
