Modeling and Simulation, Design, and Testing of Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) Materials, Components, or Systems

The Army Research Laboratory Research Associateship Program (ARL-RAP) offers a postdoctoral research fellowship opportunity with the Integrated Photonics Sensors team at DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory. Participants will perform independent research and development in modeling and simulation, design, and testing of Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) materials, components, or systems under the mentorship of the team leader. Research topics include high-speed modulators, c-band, o-band, and 780 nm PIC components and systems, PIC interface electronics, Free-space Optical Communications, bio or chemical sensors, and other future Army PIC applications. The program is designed to increase involvement of creative and highly trained scientists and engineers from academia and industry in scientific and technical areas relevant to the Army. Participants will receive on-site training including cleanroom tools and processes, and will have opportunities to author presentations, publications, patents, contribute to DOD reports, and attend conferences and government meetings where appropriate.
