Offer Description
The Institute of Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences announces a thematically open call for a research position carried out within the programme of extending research topics into new and promising directions. The successful candidate is expected to join the Laser Spectroscopy Team, where he/she will pursue a proposed experimental research topic, accepted by the competition committee. Depending on individually negotiated conditions, the implementation of the research may be carried out independently or in collaboration with other IF PAN staff, by using the candidate’s own or the existing apparatus, laboratory infrastructure and workshop facilities in the Spectroscopy and Radiation Division. In all cases, it is expected that the candidate will actively work towards obtaining additional external funding for both new equipment and the development of scientific and scientific-technical staff. The offer is addressed to those with experience in experimental research who are willing to undertake the development of their own subject related to atomic, molecular or optical physics.
During the first two years of the research, the group at the Institute of Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences will provide the necessary consumables for, among others, lasers (gases, dyes, solvents).
Detailed description of the apparatus available at the workplace.
The Institute of Physics PAS provides the use of the following apparatus:
Pulsed lasers (10 ns pulses):
- IPEX-848 Light Machinery excimer laser repetition rate up to 200 Hz, pulse energy 200mJ@307nm
- Boston_500 Nd-YAG laser repetition rate 20 Hz, 440mJ@1064nm, 240mJ@532, 130mJ@355
- Several tunable dye lasers: Lumonics HD-500, Radiant Dyes NarrowScan, Sirah Cobra Strech with frequency doubling
- All dye lasers are computer or manually tunable; spectral range available from 210 nm to near infrared
Continuous (cw) operation lasers:
- Three Coherent 899 Ring dye lasers, single-mode, in full opto-electronic option
- Two Lighthouse SPROUT pump lasers, 8W@532nm
- Single-mode diode lasers (ECDL) from Toptica DL_100 and DL_Pro at 780nm and 856nm
- Several single-mode EDLC diode lasers, home-made for non-standard wavelengths. They allow (new diode) conversion to single-mode generation at other wavelengths.
Other optical apparatus:
- WS7 wavemeter (HighFinesse) with PID module for active wavelength stabilisation of diode and ring lasers
- Bruker Vertex 80v Fourier spectrometer with optics and several detectors covering the range 400cm-1 - 50000cm-1
- Various photomultipliers and monochromators from Carl Zeiss Jena (DDR)
