The candidate will work in the Integrated and Quantum Optics group, FBK, where he will develop technologies for integrated photonics.

The technological platforms on which the candidate will operate will be mainly Lithium Niobate On Insulator (LNOI) and silicon. LNOI is one of the most interesting materials for integrated photonics due to the wide transparency window and its non-linear optical properties. The strong and fast electro-optic responsivity of Lithium Niobate will be exploited to design fast modulators and highly efficient correlated photon sources.

The candidate will develop techniques for thin films of LNOI processing aimed at the realization of such photonic devices on the platform. The candidate will exploit the technological platform to design optical devices and components, that he/she will fabricate and characterize in the laboratories of FBK and UniTN.
