PhD in Ultra-Stable Laser Systems For The Einstein Telescope (F/M/D) 100%

Facing the challenges of our time - Help us grow and be more impactful! The Einstein Telescope (ET) is Europe's next-generation gravitational-wave observatory. Achieving its unprecedented sensitivity requires laser systems with exceptionally low frequency and intensity noise. CSEM's Instrumentation Business Unit, based in Neuchatel, in collaboration with the University of Geneva (UniGE) and the Swiss Einstein Telescope community, is opening a four-year PhD position dedicated to the development of ultra-stable laser technology for the Einstein Telescope. The PhD student will be employed at CSEM and enrolled at the University of Geneva. Starting date: as soon as possible or to be agreed. Your mission You will work at the intersection of laser physics, precision metrology, photonics and control electronics. Your objective will be to develop and experimentally validate technologies that reduce the frequency and intensity noise of 1550 nm laser systems for next-generation gravitational-wave interferometry.
