Senior Laser Physicist – DPSS / Solid-State Lasers

Laser Physicist

We are seeking an experienced Laser Physicist to spearhead the development of high-power DPSS Nd:YAG laser systems. This role encompasses the full product lifecycle, taking projects from initial concept through laboratory prototyping and final system integration.

Responsibilities:
- Lead the design, development, and construction of DPSS Nd:YAG laser systems.
- Design laser resonators, pump configurations, Q-switching, thermal management, and beam-delivery optics.
- Select and integrate laser diodes, Nd:YAG gain media, optical components, electronics, and cooling systems.
- Establish and build a laser development laboratory, including optical benches, measurement equipment, laser safety infrastructure, and test procedures.
- Perform laser alignment, characterization, optimization, and troubleshooting.
- Measure pulse energy, pulse width, beam profile, M², divergence, stability, and efficiency.
- Manage external suppliers and work closely with mechanical, electronic, optical, and system engineering teams.
- Document the design, test results, specifications, and development process.

דרישות חובה:
- M.Sc. in Physics, Applied Physics, Optics, Electro-Optics, or a related field.
- Strong hands-on experience with solid-state lasers, preferably DPSS Nd:YAG.
- Experience designing and building pulsed/Q-switched laser systems.
- Strong understanding of laser resonators, nonlinear optics, thermal effects, beam propagation, and laser diagnostics.

יתרונות נוספים:
- Ph.D.
- Ability to independently lead a laser development project and laboratory activity.
- Strong hands-on laboratory and problem-solving capabilities.
- High-energy nanosecond lasers.
- 1064 nm Nd:YAG systems.
- Electro-optic Q-switches / Pockels cells.
- High-power diode pumping.
- Frequency conversion, including 1064 nm → 532 nm.
- Development of rugged or field-deployable laser systems.
