高功率光学涡旋方向博士研究员（科研助理，总总酬金 2971.41 欧元/月）

(III EDITION) We are seeking candidate for a doctoral position (Research assistant) within the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Networks – High-Power Optical Vortices (HiPOVor) funded by the European Commission. HiPOVor is an international collaborative effort aimed at overcoming the challenges of creating light beams that carry optical angular momentum with both very high peak and average powers. A group of young researchers will explore the entire development chain of these beams, including the devices used to generate them, their physical properties, their amplification, their behavior during propagation, and their practical uses. The project will train 15 doctoral candidates to become the first specialists able to produce powerful light beams carrying optical angular momentum and to advance their use in both academic and industrial settings. The work is supported by an interdisciplinary consortium of eight leading universities and nine industry partners. The academic partners are Tampere University in Finland, the University of Stuttgart in Germany, the University of Warsaw in Poland, the University of Glasgow in the United Kingdom, the University of Bucharest in Romania, Université libre de Bruxelles in Belgium, Université Paris Saclay in France, and the CNRS center known as Femto ST in France. The project partners from industry, together with academic institutions, will support research expected to strengthen European scientific excellence, enable new optical technologies, improve methods for producing nanometre-scale structures, and contribute to more sustainable and energy-efficient solutions. The project will develop two approaches based on hot-embossing and nanostructurization. 1. Hot-embossing. High power vortex components for Mid IR with hot embossing technology Hot-embossed optical elements are widely used in commercial applications to produce low-cost optics of arbitrary shape. However, polymer components have limited applications in high-power optics and have low infrared transmission. Hot-embossing is used to mass-fabricate CD player lenses, camera lenses, and aspherical lenses for the visible and near-infrared wavelength ranges. The main advantage of hot-embossing is the ability to create free-form components without the constraints of rotational symmetry, unlike typical machined lenses. Hot-embossing is a fast technique well suited to mass production and can be used as a continuous process, unlike conventional mechanical shaping of individual components. The aim of using hot-embossing is to fabricate optical components for high-power optical vortex generation. 2. Nanostructurization High-power all-fiber vortex beam generators for mid-IR A technique to fabricate optical components with a gradient refractive index distribution - GRIN - compatible with fiber optics. In this method, the micro-optical components consist of a set of nanorods made from a pair of thermally matched glasses arranged in a pre-calculated binary pattern. According to the Maxwell-Garnett effective medium model, the binary patterns mimic a continuous gradient index distribution for wavelengths much larger than the size of a single nano-rod. This enables the fabrication of flat-surface GRIN micro-optical components with any two-dimensional refractive-index distribution. The capabilities of this method have previously been demonstrated in the visible and near-infrared wavelength range by fabricating parabolic and elliptical GRIN microlenses, axicons, diffractive optical elements (DOEs), and birefringent artificial glass materials. The aim of using nanostructurisation technology is to fabricate a phase element that generates an optical vortex in the mid-infrared range, and integrate it into an optical fiber, and fabricate an optical fiber that guides the vortex mode.
