Particle-based SERS sensing of bacterial spores in milk  SporeSpotter project aims to develop an advanced bacterial spore detection platform for the dairy industry. Bacterial spores pose serious health and economic risks such as Clostridium Tyrobutyricum and Bacillus Cereus species. These spores can survive standard pasteurization processes and lead to contamination in dairy products. The related late blowing defect caused by these spores can affect…

Towards high-performance photonic-chip-based optical clocks: Developing a testbed for rapid prototyping and characterization of atomic vapor cells – key component for ultraprecise frequency reference in next-generation optical clocks.   Optical clocks represent the frontier of precision timekeeping. Modern integrated photonic technology enables the construction of high-performance optical clocks in an ultra-compact form factor and at substantially reduced cost, thereby enabling the high-level synchronization required for next-generation communication technologies, such as 6G.   We offer a (graduation) internship opportunity for…

Development and testing of control electronics for laser stabilization and optical-to-microwave frequency conversion for use in a compact optical clock  Optical clocks represent the frontier of precision timekeeping. To reach unprecedented levels of accuracy, ultra-stable laser systems locked to atomic or molecular references are essential. In this internship, you will work on developing and characterizing control electronics for laser stabilization and optical-to-microwave frequency conversion for use in a compact optical-clock prototype.  Specific…
