Future photonic integrated circuits require optical modulators with high efficiency, low power consumption, and compact footprints. III-V semiconductor materials exhibit strong electro-optic effects and offer significant opportunities for realizing high-performance optical modulation devices. In this internship, the student will investigate the optical and electronic properties of III-V semiconductor heterostructures, with a particular focus on quantum-confined and heterojunction-based modulation mechanisms. Numerical simulations and data analysis will be carried out to study the influence of material composition, heterostructure design, strain engineering, and electric-field-induced effects on optical absorption and modulation efficiency. The results will contribute to the design and optimization of next-generation III-V photonic modulators for integrated optical communication systems.

Type of internship: Master internship

Duration: 6 months

Required educational background: Electrotechnics/Electrical Engineering, Physics
