The Optical Technologies for Satellite Links group at DLR’s Institute of Communications and Navigation develops experimental laser communication systems for optical data links between airborne carriers such as airplanes or satellites and optical ground stations as well as demonstrator platforms for testbed system verifications. The integrated circuits development covers several disciplines such as photonics, electronics and programming. The successful applicant will join our team in the development of integrated optical systems for very-high-throughput satellite communications and ranging applications. To address the unique challenge of designing the next generation of optical transceivers, she/he/they will investigate various approaches to characterizing high-speed transmission components. The main focus of the work is to evaluate performance of selected photonic devices as well as to investigate their compatibility and interoperability with an overall optical communications system. It is an excellent opportunity to work in a cutting-edge topic, gain experience on testing integrated photonic devices, and improve your engineering skills.
