Job Description The position is dedicated to advancing miniaturized higher-dimensional structured light platforms for information security through fundamental research and photonic device development. Particular emphasis will be placed on compact generation, manipulation, and detection of structured light carrying multiple degrees of freedom, including orbital angular momentum, polarization, and topological textures. The research spans the complete development cycle from theoretical modeling and photonic structure design to device fabrication and optical characterization. The primary responsibilities include: 1. Investigating the physical mechanisms underlying higher-dimensional structured light, elucidating the interplay among orbital angular momentum, spin angular momentum, geometric phase, and topological properties. Establish structure–property relationships governing information encoding capacity, propagation robustness, and security performance, and develop novel high-dimensional optical states and topological light fields for secure information processing. 2. Advancing miniaturized photonic platforms for structured light generation and manipulation by developing metasurfaces, nanophotonic structures, and integrated optical devices. Optimize phase engineering and polarization control strategies, achieve precise tailoring of vectorial and topological light fields, and realize compact and multifunctional devices for information encryption, multiplexing, and authentication. 3. Perform optical characterization and system optimization using advanced imaging and spectroscopic techn…
