Two-year postdoc position at Institut d'Optique (Bordeaux)
Modelling and applications of nanoresonators
Our group has recently developed state-of-the-art knowledge on the modal analysis of
electromagnetic resonators [1] and has recently launched the first freeware MAN [2].
Following several years of work carried out in "autarky", the group now enjoys many
solicitations of experimentalists: on mode volume [Gurioli, LENS, P182, P195], hybrid
cavities [Koendering, AMOLF, P182, P188], quantum surface effects in nanocavities
[Soljacik, MIT, P185], nonlinear nanooptics [Léo, MPQ, P192], strong coupling
[Raschke, Boulder, P189], couple mode theory [Brongersma, Stanford]. We also
collaborate with theoreticians on cavity perturbation theory [Yan, Westlake, P194] and the
numerical method [Duruflé, Inria-Bordeaux P200].
Job description (Starting date: Sept-Oct 2020): We offer a two-year postdoc position to
continue our effort. The theoretical part will consist in refining/improving MAN. The most
important part of the work will consist in exploring new opportunities in which
quasinormal mode theory helps understanding/interpreting experiments. This will be done
with our collaborators.
