At the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT, we may not be developing swords to fight the dark side of the Force, but our developments often sound like science fiction. That's because we are designing the technologies and processes for the future of digital production, packaging and scanner technology, and many other laser-based applications, such as 3D printing and laser fusion. Are you looking for an exciting job as a student assistant (m/f/d) that will change the future?
The »Ultrashort Pulse Lasers« group develops high-power ultrashort pulse laser sources (pulse duration < 1 ps) with average powers up to the kW range, as well as the simulation and measurement tools required for this. The spectrum of projects ranges from concept and prototype development for industrial laser manufacturers to publicly funded projects in the field of basic research, such as the generation of EUV radiation through nonlinear frequency conversion.
