The Photonics Research and Innovation Flagship (PREIN) is a multi-disciplinary competence cluster focusing on the development of light-based technologies. PREIN is a national network that gathers the cutting-edge expertise in Photonics in Finland, including Tampere University, University of Eastern Finland, Aalto University and VTT research center. PREIN is one of the 6 Finnish Flagships funded by the Academy of Finland. The Flagship program is a northern fleet of excellent science, successful collaboration and solutions for tomorrow. Its rationale is to support future knowledge and sustainable solutions to societal challenges and seeks to advance economic growth by developing new business opportunities. Combining the resources and infrastructures of its partners, PREIN covers all the Photonics value chain, from fundamental research to applied research, seeding industrial collaboration, supporting mobility and career development.
PREIN develops light-based technologies for applications in life science, energy-saving, ICT, and environmental monitoring. The partners have complementary expertise and skills, ranging from the design and fabrication of nanomaterials and optical components to system integration and instrumentation development. Our research focuses on light field control, new materials and structures, and the development of light sources with tailored characteristics, all seeding to the development of novel technologies ranging from e.g. portable sensors, to LIDAR for environmental and industrial monitoring or smart photovoltaic modules for eco-efficient solutions.

The aim of the project is to study how different spatial degrees of freedom can be tuned via wavefront shaping and machine learning so as to control the spectral, temporal, and spatial beam intensity characteristics of light at the output of multimode fibers. The ultimate goal of this project will be to achieve complete control over both linear and nonlinear interactions and explore the possibility to extend the studies to integrated systems for application for optical imaging and sensing.

Etsimme lahjakasta tutkijatohtoria työskentelemään aiheesta spatiotemporaalisen dynamiikan kontrolli optisessa kuidussa hyödyntäen aaltorintaman muotoilua (Tampereen yliopisto).
Projektimme tavoitteena on tutkia, kuinka optisten monimoodikuitujen spatiaalisia vapausasteita voidaan muokata valon spektrin, ajallisen ja spatiaalisen intensiteetin kontrolliin, käyttäen aaltorintaman muotoilua ja koneoppimista. Projektin perimmäisenä tavoitteena on saavuttaa sekä lineaaristen että epälineaaristen vuorovaikutusten täysi hallinta ja tutkia mahdollisuutta tutkimuksen laajentamisesta integroituihin järjestelmiin optisen kuvantamisen ja aistimisen sovelluksiin.
Tehtävänkuvaus
Tehtävä on jaettu teoreettisen optiikan ja fotoniikan- sekä ultranopean fotoniikan ryhmien kesken. Teoreettisen optiikan ja fotoniikan ryhmä keskittyy valon perusominaisuuksien tutkimiseen niin klassisella kuin kvanttitasolla, sekä valon vuorovaikutukseen aineen kanssa. Olemme kiinnostuneita erityisesti strukturoidusta valosta, kiihtyvästä valosta, lokalisoiduista aalloista ja niiden vuorovaikutuksesta epälineaarisissa ja satunnaisissa väliaineissa sekä fotoniikan nanorakenteista. Ultranopea fotoniikka -ryhmä tekee teoreettista, laskennallista ja kokeellista tutkimusta ultranopean fotoniikan alalla sekä sen sovelluksista, mukaan lukien räätälöityjen valonlähteiden kehitys sekä superjatkumon, epälineaaristen epästabiiliuksien ja ultranopean laserdynamiikan tutkimus. Kehitämme myös reaaliaikaisia karakterisointitekniikoita ja yhdistämme tekoälyn kuituoptiikan kanssa kehittääksemme älykkäitä laservalonlähteitä ja ultranopean valon diagnostiikan parantamiseen.
