Düsseldorf, Braunschweig, Wettzell
Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, Institute for Experimental Physics
At Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, the following positions are available at the Institute for Experimental Physics ( www.exphy.uni-duesseldorf.de) at the earliest possible date:1) Scientist (m/f/d) in the field of experimental quantum optics - Satellite experiments with optical atomic clocks
Positions are temporary for 3 years, with the option of extension to 6 years.
1) The position (post-doc or PhD student) is available within the DFG research group FOR 5456, whose overarching goal is the first implementation of satellite-based relativistic geodesy using optical atomic clocks and laser links between Earth and the international space station ISS.
Your tasks:
The concrete task is to operate our strontium lattice clock at the Geodetic Fundamental Station Wettzell. In cooperation with the partners of the DFG research group, our clock will be compared with a strontium lattice clock at PTB Braunschweig. For this purpose, a laser link Wettzell - ISS - Potsdam and a fibre link Potsdam - Braunschweig will be implemented. The comparison will be carried out during the ESA mission ACES, which will begin in 2025. This mission will operate an atomic clock and optical and microwave transponders on the ISS.
The work of the person filling the position includes: Extension and metrological characterization of our already built optical lattice clock “SOC2”, currently at PTB Braunschweig, preparing and implementing transport to Wettzell, installation, optimisation, operation, enhancement, measurement campaigns during the ACES mission, data analysis. The scientist will also contribute to enhance the performance of and integrate into SOC2 new clock lasers currently under development. They will be based on room temperature and on cryogenic reference cavities. Work locations will be Braunschweig (2024) and Wettzell.
