Eligibility:Students with background in either Physics or Electrical Engineering are welcomed to apply.

Innovative optical fibers for next generation communication systems: For this project, the team will study the transmission of information channels over various modes within an optical fiber specifically designed to reduce mode coupling during propagation. They are looking for a student eager to contribute to the design of these new fibers and to the study of crosstalk between signals simultaneously transmitted over several modes. The work will consist in modelling as well as in experimentally characterizing the fiber and will be performed in the Optical Communications Laboratory under the supervision of Professor Sophie LaRochelle, at the Centre for Optics, Photonics and Lasers. This project is part of an international collaboration under the Horizon 2020 Program funded by the European Commission. It involves several international partners. Ultrafast fiber lasers for information processing: A student eager to contribute to the field of ultrafast laser science and its applications are called. The work will be performed at the Optical Communications Laboratory under the supervision of Professor Sophie LaRochelle, at the Centre for Optics, Photonics and Lasers (COPL).

Duration: Position is awarded for the duration of three years.

What does it cover? Position is available for PhD studies: $24,000/year for three years (+ payment of foreign tuition fees).
