Missions

Study of the spatio-temporal turbulence of optical waves through numerical simulations. This work will provide guidance for laboratory experiments aimed at observing the spatio-temporal thermalization and condensation of incoherent optical waves towards thermodynamic equilibrium.

Activities

Development of numerical codes to solve spatio-temporal equations describing the propagation of stochastic waves in nonlinear optical media (multimode optical fibers).

Skills

a) Required expertise in numerical simulations of partial differential equations describing wave propagation in nonlinear media (MatLab, Python, etc.).
b) The candidate should be motivated to interpret and analyze experimental data obtained in the field of fiber optics.

Work Context

The research will be carried out at the Carnot Interdisciplinary Laboratory of Burgundy (ICB), a joint research unit of the CNRS located in Dijon. The successful applicant will join the Photonics Department and be part of the SAFIR team. The research will be supervised by A. Picozzi (antonio.picozzi@u-bourgogne.fr) and B. Kibler (bertrand.kibler@u-bourgogne.fr), in collaboration with J. Garnier (École Polytechnique, Palaiseau) and R. Kaiser (INPHYNI, Nice), who are partners of the WANOO ANR project, which is funding the research engineer position.

The position is located in a sector under the protection of scientific and technical potential (PPST), and therefore requires, in accordance with the regulations, that your arrival is authorized by the competent authority of the MESR.
