Missions

As part of a project funded by Safran, the engineer will contribute to the development of a high average power fibre laser source (~20 W) delivering femtosecond pulses (~150 fs) at a high repetition rate (~100 MHz) and an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) pumped by the amplified laser source. He/she will participate in the implementation of the sources and in 2- and 3-photon microscopy tests on the test benches of one of our partners

Activités

• Review of existing sources and participation in defining source characteristics (1 month).
• Implementation of a fibre laser source amplification stage (2 months).
• Characterisation of the performance of the OPO pumped by the fibre laser source and amplified (2 months).
• Installation of sources and imaging tests at our partner's premises (1 month

Compétences

• Laser physics: study and production of femtosecond fibre laser sources.
• Laser pulse metrology.
• Ability to conduct optical experiments.

Contexte de travail

LOMA is an interdisciplinary joint research unit structured around three teams: Photonics and Materials (PM), Soft Matter and Biophysics, and Condensed Matter Theory. It comprises around 100 researchers and lecturer-researchers, plus around 20 IT staff. The recruited staff will work within the PM team. They will report to a senior researcher and a university professor.
