We are always searching for motivated and hardworking bachelor’s and master’s students wishing to advance their skills and perform ambitious projects in the field of ultrafast light-matter interaction, the more applied field of laser processing, ultrafast spectroscopy, and nonlinear optics in multipass cells.
Your possible projects:
- “Laser material processing with femtosecond pulses below <50 fs”;
- „XUV frequency comb spectroscopy“
- „High Harmonic Generation with 200 W, 14 MHz, 40 fs world’s highest peak power thin-disk laser oscillator system“
- Growth of single-crystalline ZnS and other high-temperature materials.
• Our labs are one of the best-equipped ultrafast laboratories in the world with all types of measurement devices, optics, and femtosecond lasers
• We are publishing in top photonics journals, see, for example, our Nature communication paper in 2022
• You’ll learn about: ultrafast laser development, spectroscopic techniques, nonlinear frequency conversion and measurement electronics – essential skills for your future career
We offer:
• Student job: 18h/week working contract at Helmut Schmidt University in Hamburg
• Free fitness, free swimming pool + sport infrastructure and a cheap Mensa
• State-of-the-art lab equipment and friendly colleagues
• You can potentially start your PhD right after you finished with the Master thesis
About you:
• Master studies in Physics or related, solid background in Optics/Lasers beneficial
• At best you can start soon and you plan stay for min. 6-12 months
• Motivated to solve complex tasks in the lab
• Fluent in English
