Applied Optics Internship | Interferometric Focus Sensor | NTS Optel

Are you studying (Applied) Physics and looking for a company where you get the freedom and right guidance? Then choose an internship/graduation assignment at NTS Optel in Nijmegen.

Assignment: Interferometric focus sensor

For microscopic systems it is important that the observed objects are within focus. If you want to automate this process, there are in principle various techniques possible. In this assignment we want to further explore an interferometric solution. We already have a working lab setup (functional model), but this is still far from a usable solution. The assignment is to further develop the design and test the performance of the system.

The assignment consists of the following components:

• Literature study
• Performance analysis of the current lab setup and comparison to alternative methods
• Come up with and verify possible improvements
• Redesign of the system so it could work outside the lab
• If time permits: build a prototype
• Experimentally verify the performance

Required skillset for the student:

• Master/Bachelor student in (Applied) Physics (university level)
• Affinity with optics
