Internship / Research Lab. Work in Photonic Quantum Systems (all genders)
Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft · Jena
InternshipGerman needed: none
Still open on 1 NovWhat you will do
- Assist in the design, construction, and alignment of an experimental optical setup for spatial-mode demultiplexing (SPADE)
- Implement and optimize the generation and detection of Hermite–Gaussian spatial modes
- Characterize the optical system in terms of mode separation efficiency, optical losses, and alignment sensitivity
- Perform experiments to investigate the resolution of closely spaced incoherent optical sources
- Analyze experimental data and evaluate the performance of SPADE for super-resolution imaging applications in microscopy
What you need
- Ongoing study in Physics, Photonics or Optics (Master's level)
- Understanding of Modern Optics (must have) and basics of Quantum Optics (nice to have)
- Previous experience with laser optical alignment (must have)
- Previous experience with spatial mode sorting (nice to have)
- Fundamental knowledge of microscopy principles (resolution limits, imaging systems, point-spread functions)
- Basics knowledge in Python programming for data acquisition and analysis
- Very good English skills verbal and written
