Located at its headquarters in New Jersey, Thorlabs’ Research Lab conducts early stage research and development of advanced imaging technologies. Through this lab, Thorlabs has developed a high-speed MEMS-VCSEL swept laser for optical coherence tomography (OCT) and spectroscopy applications. This opportunity will entail applying Thorlabs MEMS-VCSEL OCT for high-speed three-dimensional imaging of engineered objects. This fellowship will work closely with Thorlabs Senior Scientists and Engineers in creating and demonstrating prototype imaging systems for industrial applications. Successful candidates will have the opportunity to provide conference presentations, publish results in peer-reviewed journals, and participate in patent submissions based on the technology. Strong analytical skills and proficiency in programming are desired.

RO Title: High Resolution Multi-photon Imaging
RO Number: OSAFF.TL.3
Location: Sterling, VA
 

Located in Sterling, Virginia, Thorlabs Imaging Systems has research opportunities related to the development of new imaging systems that demonstrate significant lateral and axial resolution improvements in deep brain in-vivo multiphoton imaging. Currently we are working on the implementation of an adaptive optics solution. The fellowship will focus on analyzing existing approaches and then recommending, developing and testing, one or more methods. The successful candidate will join an interdisciplinary team of engineers and scientists with backgrounds in imaging, optics/photonics, software, and electronics.

RO Title: From Prototype to Production: Development of Novel Optoelectronic Devices
RO Number: OSAFF.TL.4
Location: Jessup, MD

TQE is a vertically integrated company with a full complement of semiconductor design, fabrication, and manufacturing tools. Located in Jessup, Maryland the mid-infrared semiconductor laser group at Thorlabs Quantum Electronics (TQE) is currently developing a wide range of optical products across the mid-IR spectrum. Present mid-IR products in development include interband cascade lasers, quantum cascade lasers, and Type I quantum well lasers covering a wide wavelength range between 2 and 12 microns. TQE is interested in expanding our product line to include additional mid-IR products including LEDs, SLEDs, tunable surface and edge emitters including VCSELs, external cavity tunable lasers, and electronically tunable lasers. We are also interested in expanding our wavelength coverage to include THz devices. This fellowship entails design and development of a broad range of mid-IR semiconductor lasers. The successful candidate will work closely with research scientists, design engineers, and manufacturing engineers through the entire product development lifecycle; from prototype to market release.
