Student position: Fiber optic sensors and laser technology

Symbolic picture for the article. The link opens the image in a large view.

Are you looking for a HiWi position in the field of optical high-frequency technology and photonics and/or would you like to gain experience in scientific work?

We offer exciting HiWi positions where you have the opportunity to contribute to the development of innovative, AI-supported systems for fiber-based temperature measurement. You will also have the opportunity to conduct research in the emerging field of hollow-core fiber sensor technology or actively participate in the development of a target simulator for LIDARs. If you are more interested in optical communication, that’s no problem either! With us, you will have the opportunity to make a decisive contribution to setting new standards in optical free-space communication with intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRS).
