Dear Colleagues:

Below you will find a post-doctoral/research fellow position

announcement for research in photorefractive materials at Rose-Hulman

Institute of Technology. Please inform any of your colleagues or

students who may be interested in spending one or two years working

with us. I will be happy to seriously consider your recommendations.

DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS AND APPLIED OPTICS

ROSE-HULMAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY



Postdoctoral positions are available to work on projects involving

wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology, RF signal

processing, and fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) for Optical True-Time Delay

(TTD) and phase- array beam steering. The project goal is to determine

the feasibility of a Wideband Optically Multiplexed Beamforming

Architecture (WOMBAt) using WDM architecture with optical parallel

TTD. The research includes application of photorefractive materials in

WDM devices and optical switching, fabrication of multiple FBG on

single fiber, and study of TTD architectures. Candidates with

background in photorefractive materials, fiber optics and RF photonics

will be given strong consideration. The salary would be in the

$42,000+ range based on experience and qualifications. The starting

date may be as early as September 1, 2001. Candidates should submit a

curriculum vita and arrange to have two letters of recommendation sent

to:
