MSc: low-noise photodetection for optical measurements

Design and characterize transimpedance-amplifier photodetection with an eye on noise, bandwidth and sensitivity, applied to a real optical experiment. Level: MSc. Status: open.

Sample opening (placeholder).

Level: Master’s (MSc) · Status: Open

Prerequisites: electronics fundamentals; interest in instrumentation. Familiarity with the transimpedance amplifier and noise posts is a plus.

What you’ll do

Develop a low-noise photodetection chain (photodiode + transimpedance amplifier + filtering), model its noise and bandwidth trade-offs, and deploy it in an ongoing optics experiment. Strong fit for someone who likes building instruments and understanding them quantitatively.
