NTT Research Inc. is seeking a highly motivated Photonics Research Intern for a 3–6 months internship. The intern will focus on numerical modeling and simulation of vertical cavity optical parametric oscillator (OPO) devices using the COMSOL Multiphysics platform.

  • Develop and implement COMSOL models for vertical cavity OPO structures
  • Simulate optical modes, nonlinear interactions, and device performance
  • Study key phenomena including oscillation threshold behavior, phase-matching
  • conditions, and parametric gain
  • Analyze simulation results and contribute to interpretation and documentation of findings
  • Collaborate with researchers to refine models and support ongoing device design efforts
