Doctorate + Teacher

Following a Master Degree in Instrumentations and Measurements, and a request of the french Atomic Energy Commissariat, I performed my PhD thesis at the Optics and Hertzian Molecular Physics Center (CPMOH) - University of Bordeaux 1 under direction of Professor Laurent SARGER.

Fundamental and applied research in laser / non linear optics

Duration of the position: 48 months

Objectives of the main project:

Conception and realization of several measurement prototypes for the nonlinear characterization of optical components of a high power laser chain (Mega Joule Laser - LMJ).

Realized tasks:

Fundamental and applied research in non linear optics and femtosecond laser (theory, experiments, publications, conferences)

Prototype and knowledge transfert to the CEA/CESTA for the optical characterization of the LMJ components.

Teaching: lab work (optics, electronics and mechanics) in scientific licence (1st year)

Tools / Methods / Environment:

Human Machine Interface (HMI) coding in C language

Fortran coding for mathematical calculations

Formal calculus: Mathematica, Mapple

Data analysis: Igor Pro

Results:

4 articles in international reviews with referee. Publications.

1 publication on Arxiv.org

5 international oral communications with one invited

The research work allow us to design an innovative technique able to measure the absolute non linear characteristics of optical components.

Position characteristics:

To be innovant and having some ideas

Skill to promote the work through the international talks

Teaching skill

Be self sufficiency and having some versatile skills (physics, math, electronics, signal treatment, nonliear optics, lasers)
