master thesis or internship: “Fabrication of innovative fiber optic Bragg gratings” {Ingenieur/in - Maschinenbau}

master thesis or internship: “Fabrication of innovative fiber optic Bragg gratings” in Jena At the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technologies (Leibniz-IPHT) in the Competence Center for Specialty Optical Fibers there is the possibility to write a master thesis, to do an internship or to be employed on the basis of a HiWi contract. Periodical refractive index modifications can be implemented into optical fibers using a high-power fs-laser. These fiber optical Bragg gratings (FBG) are used in sensor applications and as laser mirrors in fiber lasers. A variety of new applications are under investigation worldwide. One challenge is the inscription of FBG in new specialty optical fibers. A systematic optimization of the process parameters is necessary. Another challenge is it, to adapt the measurement setup for the characterization of the inscribed FBG. Your Tasks: • Fine adjustment of the existing interferometer setup (instructions are available) • Systematic experiment for FBG inscription into different fiber types • Evaluation of the results and optimization of the measurement setup, if necessary Your skills and expertise: • Bachelor in FT, PT, LOT, Mechatronic or similar • Basic knowledge in fiber optics and optics • Interest in precise and difficult tasks • Basic knowledge in measurement technology and measurement evaluation. • Ability to work independently and reliably About us: The Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology e.V. (Leibniz-IPHT) in Jena is a non-university research institution and is closely related to the Friedrich Schiller University Jena and a member of the Leibniz Association. We offer: • Collaboration in the team of the Competence Centre for Specialty Optical Fibers, potentially for a longer time • Payment on basis of student assistant Further information about scientific details of the project can be obtained from: Dr. Tobias Habisreuther (tobias.habisreuther@leibniz-ipht.de, Tel: 03641 206226) oder Dr. Kerstin Schröder (kerstin.schroeder@leibniz-ipht.de, Tel: 03641 206231) Application: Please submit your application preferentially as pdf file (including your CV and certificates) via our jobportal (https://www.leibniz-ipht.de/en/institute/career/job-portal/) by clicking on the apply-button here:
