Research Associate / Postdoc Laser structured image guides bei Technische Universität Dresden

TUD Dresden University of Technology, as a University of Excellence, is one of the leading and most
dynamic research institutions in the country. Founded in 1828, today it is a globally oriented,
regionally anchored top university as it focuses on the grand challenges of the 21st century. lt
develops innovative solutions for the world's most pressing issues. In research and academic
programs, the university unites the natural and engineering sciences with the humanities, social
sciences and medicine. This wide range of disciplines is a special feature, facilitating interdisciplinarity
and transfer of science to society. As a modern employer, it offers attractive working conditions to all
employees in teaching, research, technology and administration. The goal is to promote and develop
their individual abilities while empowering everyone to reach their full potential. TUD embodies a
university culture that is characterized by cosmopolitanism, mutual appreciation, thriving innovation
and active participation. For TUD diversity is an essential feature and a quality criterion of an excellent
university. Accordingly, we welcome all applicants who would like to commit themselves, their
achievements and productivity to the success of the whole institution.

At the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Institute of Circuits and Systems, the
Chair of Measurement and Sensor System Technique (Prof. Jürgen Czarske) offers a project
position as

Research Associate / Postdoc (m/f/x)
Laser structured image guides

(subject to personal qualification employees are remunerated according to salary group E 13 TV-L)

starting as soon as possible. The position comprises 75% of the fulltime weekly hours and is limited
until December 31, 2024. The period of employment is governed by § 2 (2) Fixed Ter Research
Contracts Act (Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz-WissZeitVG).

Coherent fiber bundles enable pixelated image transfer for endoscopy. However, the phase
information of the transferred light is lost, hindering 3D imaging. At the competence center
Biomedical Computational Laser Systems (BIOLAS) we investigate novel principles to correct the
optical transfer function of coherent fiber bundles to enable lens-less 3D imaging and structured
illumination for minimally invasive biomedical applications.

Tasks: The research focus is applying laser-based manufacturing to produce tailor-made holograms
on fiber facets. Your activities include the realization of optical fiber systems, the holographic
characterization of coherent fiber bundles pre- and post-processing as well as the development of
control strategies for laser-based manufacturing systems and the transfer to application.

Requirements: above-average university and, if applicable, PhD degree in the subject physics, fiber
optics or related areas; ability and willingness to work independently and conceptually in a dynamic
team; curiosity in research at interfaces of sciences; interest in practice-oriented, interdisciplinary
cooperation with partners from research and industry; knowledge of software development and
digital signal processing. Previous knowledge of fiber optics, non-linear optics, MATLAB or Python is
advantageous.
