Optical Physicist
AOSense, Inc. is the leading developer and manufacturer of innovative quantum technologies employing atom optics. Our products use frequency-stabilized lasers and atoms in a vacuum cell to measure accelerations, rotations, magnetic fields, and time with unparalleled accuracy and stability. Our staff includes physicists and engineers with expertise covering a wide array of disciplines. Our teams are dynamic and fast paced since our hardware is cutting edge.
AOSense is seeking optical physicists with varied skillsets in optical metrology, laser characterization, and optical design. As an Optical Physicist at AOSense you will design, prototype, build, and test laser systems for fieldable atom optic devices for inertial navigation, geophysics, and timekeeping. You will guide the transition to compact and integrated photonic systems for future generations of sensors.
Responsibilities:
- Develop compact laser systems for atom-based sensors and frequency standards
- Design, build, and characterize optical frequency combs and high-finesse cavities
- Validate the long-term stability of photonic systems in dynamic environments
- Characterize laser performance (linewidth, beam quality, lifetime, etc.)
- Characterize optics, optical materials, and components
- Model laser beam propagation with optical design software
- Transition photonics devices to manufacturing
- Contribute to research proposals for further development and applications
