Modelling and design of photonic crystal-based optical integrated circuits

OBS! ANSÖKNINGSTIDEN FÖR DETTA EXJOBB HAR LÖPT UT.
The discovery of photonic band-gap (PBG) materials and their use in controlling light propagation is a new and exciting development. It has vast implications for material science, electrical engineering, optics, and physics. According to the world leading scientific journal Science, new light on photonics is one of the ten top breakthroughs of the year 1999 (Dec. 1999, Science). Science states that Semiconductors transformed the communication and computing industries by channeling electrons faster than
giant old vacuum tubes could. And many observers expect that in the 21st century these industries will be transformed again, by photonic crystals, latticelike structures that have the potential to manipulate photons as semiconductors do electrons but at the speed of light.

Photonic band-gap materials could be used to design photonic devices, such as fibers, waveguides, prisms, couplers, filters, ¿ (you name it!), which could be used in photonic integrated circuits. Integrated circuits combining conventional electronics and photonic crystal based components could represent ultimate limit for optoelectronic miniaturization. Furthermore, this field has a potential of carrying research results to the market by collaborative efforts or by generating spin-offs. In the recent years it has generated several start-up companies and a number of patents. This stems from an intense and substantial global research effort in this area.

We offer diploma works for students of microelectronics, applied/technical physics, or related major, who have some background knowledge in electromagnetic theory and photonics. The applicant should also have good knowledge on programming, in particular, using FORTAN or C++.
