Offer Description
The post-doctoral fellow recruited will work as part of the MULTIMOC project funded by ANR ASTRID and as part of the GRAFIC project funded by the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region. The aim is to develop an all-fiber laser source end component, whose special feature will be to integrate both the function of emitting radiation with a controlled multimodal profile, and that of analyzing the emitted wavefront. It's a thinned multi-strand component with a novel structure resembling a multifunctional all-fibre spatial light modulator. In this project, the component is dedicated to free-space optical telecommunications, to reduce the impact of atmospheric turbulence traversed by the link signal.
