with a focus on exploring their absorption and reflection characteristics.
What you'll learn
The successful Micro-Opto-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MOEMS) development (Mechanical Engineering) candidate at VILNIUS TECH will participate in research on the applicability of this innovative technology platform for integrated IR sources and detectors. Specifically, micromachined bridges and/or arrays of such structures are promising for broadband IR generation and pyroelectric detection. The outcomes of the proposed research will contribute to the development of highly integrated and cost-effective multichannel optical sensors capable of analysing a wide range of materials with unprecedented cross-selectivity and sensitivity.

The candidate will also be encouraged to join subsequent stages of sensor development, exploring the potential of integrating IR optics with MEMS to enable flexible adjustment of absorption and reflection parameters. We expect that the techniques investigated by the successful candidate will not only exhibit improved overall technical performance but also demonstrate the potential to reduce the cost of IR-based detectors for various organic and inorganic materials.
