Interferometric focus sensor (Applied Optics Internship)

Interferometric Focus Sensor Internship

At NTS, we make it possible together. Technology inspires and drives us; it is our passion. Every day we work on unique solutions for complex challenges. Whether it’s ultra-complex or ultra-precise solutions, we take pride in what we do and what we deliver. Are you studying Applied Physics and are you looking for a company where you get the freedom and right guidance? Then choose an internship/graduation assignment at NTS Optel in Nijmegen and let’s make it possible together.

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 compare to alternative methods.
• Come up with and verify possible improvements
• Redesign of the system, so it could work outside the lab

If additional resources are available then:

• Build a prototype
• Experimentally verify the performance

Required skillset for the student:

• Bachelor or Master Student (Applied Physics) studying at a Dutch University
• Affinity with optics
• Driven and enthusiastic attitude

Compensation
At NTS, we combine our passion for technology with innovative solutions to complex challenges. You will have the freedom and confidence to fully utilize and develop your talents in a dynamic and energetic environment.

For this internship/assignment we offer the following conditions:

• Stipend of €500 per month;
• Travel commuting allowance.
