Job Description
Missions
The aim is to conduct photon correlation experiments using novel single-photon sources developed by our colleagues at CEA Grenoble. The optomechanical properties of these devices will also be studied.
The researcher will conduct experiments on photon correlations (Hanbury-Brown, Twiss, and Hong-Ou-Mandel) using photonic nanostructures containing individual quantum dots. The mechanical vibration modes of these structures are coupled via strain to the quantum dot's emission energy. The goal will be to study how optical control of the quantum dot allows for control of the motion of this mechanical oscillator, if possible down to the single-phonon level.
Activity
- Conduct microphotoluminescence experiments in a cryogenic environment (T=4K).
- Conduct photon correlation experiments
- Conduct optomechanical experiments
- Process and analyze the data obtained
- Supervise a doctoral student
Your Profil
Skills
- Experience in optical spectroscopy is required
- Experience in photon counting is desirable
- Strong knowledge of semiconductor optics
Your Work Environment
The postdoc researcher will be integrated in the "Nanophysics and Semiconductors (NPSC)" team of the "Physics - Light - Material" (PLUM) department.
The Institut NÉEL is a CNRS unit (UPR 2940) under agreement with the University Grenoble Alpes. The laboratory is related to the CNRS Physique. It is located in Grenoble, in the heart of a unique scientific, industrial and cultural environment. It is one of the largest French national research institutes for fundamental research in condensed matter physics enriched by interdisciplinary activities at the interfaces with chemistry, engineering and biology. It consists of 450 employees, including 175 researchers.
CNRS is a public, scientific and technological organisation.
The core mandate is to identify, carry out ou have carried out, either alone or with partners, all research that advances science or contributes to the country's economic, social, and cultural progress. Internationally recognised for the excellence of its scientific research, the CNRS is a reference in the world of research and development, as well as for the general public.
