Researcher in physics focused on applied diagnostics based on ultrashort laser pulses
Subject description Development of ultrafast, femtosecond (fs), lasers has enabled significant advances of existing diagnostic techniques as well as new measurement concepts. Ultrashort laser pulses entail a number of very attractive diagnostic features: namely unprecedented temporal resolution allowing studies of fast chemical kinetics and dynamics; extremely high peak powers and broad spectral coverage facilitating nonlinear optical techniques and multi-species detection; and independence from collisional-quenching effects facilitating quantitative measurements. These assets have yet to be explored and utilized for many practical applications. Development and application of novel measurement concepts based on ultrashort laser pulses, in particular concepts based on backward lasing in gases, is the overall research focus of the present researcher position.
Work duties
- Research within the area of backward lasing based on femtosecond laser pulses.
- Assisting in supervision of PhD students.
- Collaborating with industry and wider society.
Qualification requirements
Applicants must have:
- A PhD in Physics or equivalent research qualification within the subject of the position.
- Very good oral and written proficiency in English.
- Research experience within the field of backward-directed stimulated emission in atoms based on femtosecond laser pulses.
- Research experience within the field of optical filamentation based on femtosecond laser pulses.
- Research experience within the field of atom detection with laser-induced fluorescence based on multi-photon excitation.
Other qualifications
- Experience from combustion studies.
- Experience from plasma studies.
Consideration will also be given to good collaborative skills, drive and independence, and how the applicant’s experience and skills complement and strengthen ongoing research within the department, and how they stand to contribute to its future development.
Terms of employment Temporary employment, 100 %, 2019-03-01 – 2020-02-29.
