Design, fabrication and optimisation of immersive automotive Head Up Displays based on metasurface holographic projection.

Descrizione

Design, fabrication and optimisation of immersive automotive Head Up Displays based on metasurface holographic projection. Sintesi in italiano (traduzione automatica): L'IMT Atlantique di Brest, Francia, cerca un candidato per un dottorato di ricerca finanziato nel campo della fotonica/ottica, nell'ambito del progetto europeo 'VIVE'. Il dottorando si occuperà di progettare, fabbricare e ottimizzare micro- e nano-strutture diffrattive per migliorare i display Head Up (HUD) automobilistici. Le mansioni principali includono lo sviluppo di modelli digitali, la fabbricazione di nanostrutture e la collaborazione con partner industriali e accademici. È richiesta una solida formazione teorica e pratica in fotonica. Il lavoro si svolgerà in laboratorio, in team con ricercatori e in stretto contatto con i partner del progetto. È preferibile una laurea in fisica, ingegneria elettronica o un campo correlato. In the framework of the recently obtained EU project “VIVE” the optics department of the IMT Atlantique in Brest, France currently has a vacancy open for a fully funded PhD in the field of photonics/optics. The aim of this PhD will be to design, fabricate and optimise diffractive micro- and nano-structures to overcome the system size / field of view limitations of current automotive Head Up Displays (HUDs). The VIVE project will investigate a disruptive approach based on Computer Generated Holograms (CGH) and MEMs scanned lasers to project patterns across the entire dashboard and windscreen. To do this the PhD student will learn to use, contribute to and leverage both commercial and in-house diffractive structure and metasurface modelling and design software (Zemax, Lumerical, LightTrans, PlanOpSim, C and python code) and apply them to design and optimise the CGHs and other photonic structures. To fabricate the CGHs and photonic structures, the student will also learn to use the IMT Atlantique micro- and nano-fabrication facilities in the ARAGO platform cleanrooms: parallel-direct write photolithography and innovative multi-photon 3D nano- fabrication photoplotters developed in the recent Phenomenon and ongoing FABulous EU projects. The selected candidate’s roles will include: develop digital models to design/optimise novel metasurfaces for the image projecting structures. fabricate by multi-photon polymerisation, the resulting nanostructures to validate/iterate the models design and fabricate (direct-write photolithography) the CGHs design, build and test the holographic projection modules in collaboration with the other VIVE partners (design and end users) contribute to improving the IMT Atlantique photoplotters by providing user feedback participate in regular VIVE project meetings and contribute to report writing disseminate the scientific results (patents, conferences, publications, …). The candidate should have a strong theoretical and practical background in photonics and will be expected to contribute his/her own innovative ideas to develop new metasurfaces and optimise fabrication processes. The work will be performed in the IMT Atlantique laboratory in a team with optics department researchers (Profs, PhD students …) but also in close relationship with the industrial and academic partners of Optics Laboratory, particularly those of the VIVE project and ongoing EU FABulous ( https://fabulous3d.eu ) and ANR Nanoshape projects (Heidelberg Instruments, Fraunhofer, PlanOptSim, Thales, Ficosa, AIMEN …) Funding category: Contrat doctoral Projet Européen VIVE PHD title: Doctorat en Photonique/Optique PHD Country: France Annuncio in inglese.
