Stellenticket Freie Universität Berlin

The research tasks are focusing on investigating different technological concepts for the realization of a compact, space prove, as much as possible chip-integrated Terahertz Time-Domain spectroscopy set-up and are part of a project within the frame of the DFG priority program „INtegrated TERahErtz sySTems Enabling Novel Functionality (INTEREST)“.

The tasks include:
(i) investigations into the space readiness of key components,
(ii) realization and characterization of different electro-optic concepts for the detection of Terahertz waveforms based on the principle of spectral decoding,
(iii) benchmarking of different, within the frame of the project developed, Time-Domain spectroscopy set-ups utilizing suitable planetary materials such as minerals or salts.

• Successfully completed scientific university degree (Master, Diplom or equivalent) in physics or a related field
• Fundamental knowledge in applied Optics
• Hands on experience with femtosecond lasers
• Good knowledge of German and/or English required; willingness to acquire the respective missing language skills

Desirable:

• Capability to work in an interdisciplinary, international team
• First practical experiences in programming with Python or LabVIEW and with applications of laser spectroscopy in planetary research are of advantage
