Pulsed Laser Development Specialist
What will you do?
You will be involved in the development of state-of-the-art pulsed lasers with high average power. The work focuses on advancing laser technologies particularly in the spectral ranges of 800–1100 nm and 1900–2100 nm.
The primary focus is on solid-state picosecond and femtosecond lasers for applications in modern industrial fields (semiconductor industry, additive manufacturing/3D printing), as well as cutting-edge technologies in the space and defense sectors (space communications, laser-based energy transfer, and related applications).
You will become a member of an international team of experienced experts in laser science and nonlinear optics.
“The Advanced Laser Development (ALD) Department focuses on the design and development of state-of-the-art diode-pumped solid-state lasers with high power and stability. Our teams push the boundaries of laser technologies and contribute to innovation in both science and industry.”
