Job description

# Applied Optics Internship | Interferometric Focus Sensor | NTS Optel* Nijmegen* 30 - 40 hoursApply directlyAt 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 labIf time permits:* Build a prototype* Experimentally verify the performance* #### **Required skillset for the student:** + Master/Bachelor student (Applied) Physics (university level) + Affinity with optics* #### **Compensation*** #### **About NTS**### Interested in this vacancy or would you like to know more?Apply now and send your CV (and cover letter) via the application button above.
