Final Thesis Using Laser Beam Figuring On

vor 3 Monaten


Aachen, Deutschland Laser Technology Vollzeit

In cooperation with the Chair of Technology of Optical Systems TOS at RWTH Aachen University, the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT, Europe's leading center for contract research and development in the field of laser technology, is offering the opportunity to write a thesis in the Surface Technology and Shape Ablation department.
The demand for imaging quality and precision of optical elements and optical systems is constantly increasing. High-performance optics in particular must be increasingly stable, compact and low-maintenance. At the same time, manufacturing costs must be reduced in order to remain competitive on the international market. The Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology (ILT) is therefore developing laser-based manufacturing processes for high-performance optomechanical components and optical systems. The focus here is on the production of aspheres and free-form surfaces, which can only be manufactured using conventional processes at great expense in terms of time and cost.

The aim of this work is to investigate the influence of various laser processing parameters for the position-selective ablation of a few nanometers on flat and curved surfaces made of quartz glass.

**What you will do**
- Participation in exciting research projects
- Conducting research, experimental studies, fixture construction and simulations
- Construction and procurement of components in scientific work

**What you bring to the table**
- You are studying materials science, physics, mechanical engineering or another engineering or science degree program
- Interest in challenging work with great industrial and social relevance
- You are characterized by an interest in technical problems as well as a responsible, structured and independent way of working
- Previous knowledge in the field of laser technology or laser material processing is advantageous, but not essential

**What you can expect**
- Practice-oriented thesis in an innovative working environment
- A creative and interdisciplinary working environment in a highly motivated team
- Excellent machinery and equipment
- Exciting and challenging areas of work in applied research
- Good transport links (bus connection, free parking garage)
- Flexible working hours that allow you to combine your studies and professional practice
- Benefits

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.

The position is limited until the completion of the thesis.
