Description
Detecting and analyzing beam profiles from sources spanning several octaves is challenging, but at the same time crucial to perform attosecond science experiments in a deterministic way.
You will gain insights into state-of-the-art applications of nonlinear optics and the limits of the technology in waveform synthesis. The task includes detailed beam analysis up to large-scale beam stabilization over a complete attosecond beamline including active beam stabilization with correlation to out-of-loop detection. Preferably, all recorded data will be fed into a self-programmed database (Python, Matlab, etc...) that enables kHz recording speeds and long-term archiving. Ideally, you will bring the motivation to work hands-on with electronics and optics in order to set up the detection, program with hardware for data acquisition and finally analyze it.
