Scientist (m/f/d) – Realization of photonic modules for space-borne quantum sensors - Reference Number 03/23

The Ferdinand-Braun-Institut, Leibniz-Institut für Höchstfrequenztechnik (FBH) is an application oriented research institute in the fields of high-frequency electronics, photonics and quantum physics. It researches electronic and optical components, modules and systems based on compound semiconductors. These devices are key enablers that address the needs of today’s society in fields like communications, energy, health, and mobility. It covers the entire value chain from design to ready-for-delivery systems.

Ihr Aufgabengebiet:

Your activities
Depending on your assignment to one of the areas, you will take on some of the following tasks:
• Based on CAE-methods you develop highly complex diode laser modules and their components in cooperation with our network partners.
• You carry out micro-integration of highly complex diode laser modules and their components with ultra-precise robots, and you participate in the continuous development of the robotic integration environment.
• You characterize the electro-optical performance of the diode laser modules and their components using measurement methods tailored to the application requirements, and you participate in the development of new measurement methods.
• You carry out the stress tests of the diode laser modules and their components that are relevant for use in space and for the qualification of hardware for specific mission scenarios.
