stillingsbetegnelse: Postdoc in Fabrication of MEMS Tuneable VCSELs

jobbeskrivelse:

The Nanophotonic Devices Group manufactures and characterizes optoelectronic and photonic devices for applications in communication and medical imaging. Fabrication is done in DTU Nanolab where facilities for silicon, GaAs and InP devices are available. Our optical labs are in the new building of DTU Fotonik. The work have enabled a number of high profile results on nanoscale lasers, nonlinear integrated photonics and a spinout company on lasers for optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Microelectromechanical tuneable vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (MEMS tuneable VCSELs) have shown remarkable performance for optical coherence tomography where fast wavelength sweep and a large dynamic coherence have enabled 3D imaging of large volumes. In the STEPS project we will characterize, use and expand the properties of MEMS tuneable VCSELs to open new application areas.

Responsibilities and tasks

We will fabricate optimized lasers and characterize/control them with the aim of achieving unprecedented dynamic coherence which will enable arbitrary pulse generation with subpicosecond time resolution [Yvind WO2015071379]. This will be an entire new way of generating such high-bandwidth, high peak power signals and allows direct electrical control of the emission. A post doc will work on fabricating optimized devices while the PhD student will demonstrate the device in the lab, both assisted by existing staff. The basic VCSEL structure has already been developed [Sahoo] but improvements are needed to accomplish the goals of the project, most notably fabrication of a device with intracavity AR coating, bidirectional tuning and with vacuum around the MEMS to improve the coherence and control of the device. Also, work on devices with electrical injection should be done.

Research task for you will be:

• Fabrication of SOI/InP(or GaAs)/dielectric DBR MEMS VCSEL for bidirectional tuning
• Fabrication of device with intracavity AR coating.
• Fabrication of VCSEL with partial vacuum in cavity around MEMS.
• Development of electrical injected device
• Device characterization
• Assistance to PhD student
