PhD Position: Light Modulation for Focusing in Disordered and Nonlinear Systems, Spain

The candidate will realize an experimental setup for spatial intensity and phase modulation aimed to obtain focusing of light beams in ordered or disordered nanostructures [1]. The degree of focusing will be studied for different kinds of nanostructures (like photonic crystals[2] and photonic glass[3]) and for nonlinear systems. Job will include the developing of a genetic optimization algorithm, and time resolved measurements. Candidate will have the opportunity to exploit advanced devices (femtosecond lasers, spatial light modulators, correlated single photon counters). The present value of the fellowship is between 1200 and 1500 euro/month depending on the CV of the candidate.
