Scientist in The Field of Fiber Drawing Technology

vor 6 Monaten


Oberkochen, Deutschland Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation Vollzeit

You are thrilled by both conceptual questions and experimental work in the laboratory as well as the optimization and further development of components for high-power fiber lasers and would you like to help advance the state of the art in fiber lasers? You are a team player, yet willing to meet some tough challenges on your own? You wish to obtain a doctor degree or are interested in post-doc studies? Moreover, you do not mind being involved in projects with defence-related background?

Until the new external site in **Oberkochen **can be occupied by our research group, work will be carried out at our site in **Ettlingen**.

**What you will do**
- You will develop, investigate and optimize processes for the realization of high-power laser fibers from bulk glasses in the fluoride material system in the spectral range > 1.5 µm (erbium, thulium and holmium doping, etc.)
- You will realize, investigate and optimize fiber draw techniques for multi-clad fibers, polarization-maintaining fibers and novel fiber geometries and optimize fiber coatings.
- You will contribute to the scientific investigation of fiber lasers to evaluate different fiber laser architectures in a broad team of experts in the field of photonic components, laser sources and nonlinear converters. You will work independently on projects in the field of fiber drawing research and write reports and publications in English, or if possible, German language.**What you bring to the table**
- Degree (diploma/master) in physics, chemistry, electrical engineering or equivalent disciplines
- Knowledge and relevant professional experience in realization of fiber draw processes (draw tower and drawing furnace control, polymer coating) and related equipment (draw tower, coating techniques, gas supply systems, etc.) Knowledge and relevant professional experience in fiber preform manufacturing and basic knowledge in fiber lasers would be of advantage.**What you can expect**
- Free space for personal scientific development and the opportunity to push forward issues and projects on your own initiative
- Excellent, state-of-the-art technical equipment with partially not commercially available equipment
- A motivated team ensuring mutual inspiration owing to the interdisciplinary composition
- A wide range of further training
- Family-friendly conditions (flexible working hours, home-office regulations in line with the requirements of the position, etc.)

With its focus on developing key technologies that are vital for the future and enabling the commercial utilization of this work by business and industry, Fraunhofer plays a central role in the innovation process. As a pioneer and catalyst for groundbreaking developments and scientific excellence, Fraunhofer helps shape society now and in the future.
