Description:
Laboratoire Hubert Curien, CNRS UMR 5516 Université Jean Monnet, Saint Etienne, France Title: Photo-assisted transformations of dielectric materials under ultrafast laser irradiation. Investigation of microscopic mechanisms and simulation of laser-matter interaction. The “Optics and Photonics” department at the Laboratoire Hubert Curien, CNRS UMR 5516, Saint Etienne, France is currently seeking a doctoral candidate for its research activities. Applications are invited for a doctoral position in laser-assisted transformation of materials that may open in November 2008. The position is limited to three years. Environment: Hubert Curien Laboratory is a mixed research unit, jointly run by the “Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique - CNRS” and the Jean Monnet University. The proposed subject is at the interface between two main research axes of the “Optics and Photonics” department; laser-matter interaction and micro/nanostructuring. The Ultrafast laser platform located at the Hubert Curien Laboratory hosts state-of-the-art equipment for laser irradiation, pulse manipulation and spectroscopy of excited materials. Project. The successful candidate will work in the frame of a project concerning ultrafast laser transformation of materials on micro- and nano- scales for optical applications. The objective concerns the investigation of light-induced transformation mechanisms in dielectric materials (based on SiO2 or HfO2) on ultrafast time scale as well as the simulation of the interaction aspects, excitation and energy relaxation in extreme energetic conditions. The emphasis is put on the correlation between the macroscopic properties (refractive index, density, transmissivity) with transformations at the molecular or mesoscopic level in the presence of intense electromagnetic radiation, culminating with optical damage. Applications are foreseen for improving the damage resistance of optical components in high power laser systems as well as in optical functionalization of transparent materials for photonic applications. Job description. The requested position includes as tasks the development of real-time imaging and spectroscopic methods to observe the progress of laser-induced modifications in transparent materials, as well as the analysis of the excitation/relaxation events on short spatial and temporal scales. Secondly the question of controlling the subsequent material modifications using adaptive pulse spatio-temporal manipulation methods will be addressed. We are looking for candidates with the following profile. Candidates should have a MSc degree in physics or engineering, and show interest for interdisciplinary work in the field of laser-material interactions. The application should be supported by sound academic records and recommendation letters. Expertise is required in the following areas: ultrafast laser-material interactions, condensed matter, solid-state physics, spectroscopy, ultrafast optics, linear and nonlinear optics, laser-induced ultrafast phenomena. Programming skills and a good command of English are also required. Payment: Fellowship of the Ministry of Education Duration: 36 months, Application Deadline: 01/06/2008
