Post-doctoral fellow in transmission and sensing over hollow-core-fibers-18 months contract

id="offer-description" class="ecl-u-type-heading-2 ecl-u-mt-none ecl-u-mb-l">Offer Description Who we are ? . Télécom Paris, part of the IMT (Institut Mines-Télécom) and a founding member of the Institut Polytechnique de Paris, is one of France's top 6 general engineering schools. The mainspring of Télécom Paris is to train, imagine and undertake to design digital models, technologies and solutions for a society and economy that respect people and their environment. We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher specialising in transmission and detection in hollow-core fibres to join the COMELEC department at Télécom Paris. Hollow-core photonic crystal fibers (HCPCFs) have recently reached a technological breakthrough with propagation losses as low as 0.1 dB/km at 1550 nm—comparable to or even better than standard telecom fibers [1-2]. Because light propagates primarily in air, HCPCFs exhibit 30–40% lower latency, ultra-low dispersion, and negligible optical nonlinearities. These unique properties make them highly promising for next-generation telecommunication systems, long-haul quantum key distribution (QKD), and distributed sensing. The proposed project aims to develop and demonstrate the next generation of hollow-core photonic crystal fibers (HCPCFs) for high-speed data transmission and sensing. With light propagating in air rather than glass, HCPCFs enable lower latency and negligible optical nonlinearities compared to silica fibers, addressing key challenges for future da
