Description
STERN (Superradiant THz radiation generation) is a project funded by the European XFEL to develop and provide a high-power terahertz source to enable pump-probe science with the existing high-power X-ray beam. This evasive region of the electromagnetic spectrum has a wide range of applications facilitating the exploration of life and matter science. STERN will use both diffraction targets and waveguides to generate broad- and narrowband radiation. The summer student will have several responsibilities including the production of novel high-frequency waveguides using atomic-layer deposition, the development of an experiment to characterize the waveguides, and simulation efforts. The student will have the option of working with high-power lasers and should be comfortable with some coding language like python.
