We are seeking a college summer intern in our Hillsborough, NJ facility. This internship will involve leaning how to perform and improve reliable optical testing.

Primary Duties & Responsibilities

• Become familiar with the optical parameters (such as Wavelength, Optical Loss, Extinction Ratio and Intrinsic Specific Rotation) and learn how a Faraday Rotator works in laser based optical systems
• Learn the function of each part of the optical test station (e.g., polarizers, power meter, laser source, detector).
• Perform repeat measurements on test samples to certify the test station repeatability and performance in order to determine (or make) improvements as needed to bring the test station into production

• Pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in physical science (preferably Physics/Electrical Engineering) or interdisciplinary Optics/Photonics Engineering
• Experience with an Optics and/or Laser course or lab desired
• Hands on lab experience as part of an Optics and/or Laser course desired
• Experience using LabView software desired

Lab environment working with an optical testing station. Test station will have low power lasers and very sensitive optical fibers, polarizers, etc. Test station uses a LabView interface software that runs on a PC next to the test station.
