Job Description
Within the IQST Graduate School framework the hot atomic vapor spectroscopy group at the 5th Institute of Physics is currently seeking a PhD student. This PhD program is in close collaboration with GmbH in Stuttgart a deeptech company that develops photonic computing and photonic sensing products.
The goal of this project is the development of highly integrated vapor cells with 3D optical access for more advanced spectroscopy schemes. These vapor cells will be the core component in atomic gyroscope and magnetometer products being developed at .
For fabricating such versatile cells we will rely on laserassisted glass etching laser welding as well as laserwritten waveguide structures and polarization optics. This part of the project will be implemented together with the laserbased material processing experts at the Institut fr Strahlwerkzeuge (IFSW) at the University of Stuttgart.
The fabricated gasfilled cells will then be investigated in the 5th Institute of Physics by means of various spectroscopy schemes and also at in their gyroscope/magnetometer labs.
With this thesis the PhD student will acquire broad knowledge on stateoftheart laser technology on fundamental aspects of atomic spectroscopy and quantum physics and will finally learn how to develop a commercial quantum sensor.
Your role:
- Basic research in the theory and experiments with hot atomic vapors.
- Develop advanced 3D vapor cell specifications to be manufactured at IFSW.
- Investigate and characterize the properties of the 3D vapor cells using various laser spectroscopy methods.
- Validation of the 3D vapor cells in quantum sensor applications at
(atomic gyroscopes and magnetometers).
Your background and skills:
- MSc degree in physics.
- Handson experience with atomic physics.
- Handson labexperience with laser spectroscopy.
- Interest in laserbased glass manufacturing techniques.
- Fluent in English.
Other:
- The PhD candidate will be enrolled at and employed by the University of Stuttgart and will be supervised by Dr. Robert Lw of the 5th Institute of Physics.
- The PhD candidate will be remunerated according to the German TVL 13 with 75 for a period of 4 years.
- Over the course of the PhD tenure the PhD candidate will spend a total of 6 months at the industrial partner GmbH as a member of the Native Sensing business unit.
- The PhD tenure can start immediately.
