PhD in Photonics

Spatial filtering is essential in space-borne optical instruments to ensure that only well defined, high quality wavefronts contribute to image formation or signal detection./nIn this project, you will design, simulate and, manufacture a 2-D photonic structure, based on multi-layer structured coatings as a spatial filter./nThe successful applicant will work at the intersection of advanced electromagnetic simulation, fabrication, and experimental characterization, contributing to cutting-edge developments in collaboration with specialists in lithography and surface patterning of the Kavli Nanalob and the Else Kooi Lab of TU Delft./nThe candidate will be part of the Spaceborne Instrumentation section of the Aerospace engineering faculty where they will benefit from the multidisciplinary environment of the faculty.
