Description of the Team
This internship will take place within the Photonic Integrated Circuits (PIC) team at Quandela. The team works on the production and development of optical processors used in Quandela's QPUs, playing a central role in their performance and scalability.
The PIC team covers several aspects of photonic chip development. Part of the team focuses on the design of next-generation PICs, typically carrying out electromagnetic and thermal simulations and preparing layouts for fabrication in collaboration with external foundries. Simultaneously, the team continuously improves upon previous photonic building blocks through iterative fabrication and in-house characterisation.
Characterisation is a critical activity at multiple points in the PIC production process: evaluating individual components, validating production-ready chips (both electrically and optically) and testing them post-packaging. The characterisation team also typically perform the optical packaging required to connect the chip to the rest of the QPU.
This internship will be focused on the characterisation activities of the PIC team, directly contributing to the evaluation and optimisation of photonic components and systems.
