About the NASA Postdoctoral Program
The NASA Postdoctoral Program (NPP) offers unique research opportunities to highly-talented scientists to engage in ongoing NASA research projects at a NASA Center, NASA Headquarters, or at a NASA-affiliated research institute. These one- to three-year fellowships are competitive and are designed to advance NASA’s missions in space science, Earth science, aeronautics, space operations, exploration systems, and astrobiology.
Description:
An array of emerging quantum instruments uses laser-cooled atoms as precision sensors. The potential impact
of these technologies, such as atom interferometer gravimeters and Rydberg-atom RF-electric probes can be greatly enhanced if cold-atom systems can be adapted from laboratory-scale experiments to compact, low-power field deployable probes.
Photonics and Quantum Sensors Group at Microdevices Laboratory of JPL, is accepting applications at the post doctorial level to design, fabricate, and characterize advanced semiconductor lasers and semiconductor optical amplifiers for quantum sensing applications. The quantum sensors under development require stable narrow linewidth single mode lasers and low current drive high saturation power optical amplifiers in the 600-850 nm wavelength range.
