Contexte de travail

Spatial beam shaping is a key element of power lasers, not only to optimize energy extraction in gain or frequency conversion stages, but also to limit and prevent damage to optical components. A collaboration between the Institut de Physique de Nice (INPHYNI, Nice) and CEA-CESTA (Bordeaux) plans to evaluate, in the context of the Megajoule laser, the performance of a new type of amplitude SLM: one based on thermo-optically addressed liquid crystals.

Le poste se situe dans un secteur relevant de la protection du potentiel scientifique et technique (PPST), et nécessite donc, conformément à la réglementation, que votre arrivée soit autorisée par l'autorité compétente du MESR.
