Job description:
A central research area of the "Optical Satellite Links" department is optical satellite communication for connections from low and geostationary orbit to the ground and between satellites. The department is also involved in laser-optical aeronautical communication for passenger aircraft and drones, for example. Another important area of research is satellite-based quantum communication. Here, the department is working on solutions to efficiently transmit photonic quantum states between satellites and ground stations.
The research group "Mitigation of Atmospheric Influences" deals with future applications of optical free-beam transmission (using laser technology) through the atmosphere and in space. Research activities are focussing in particular on overcoming the Earth's atmospheric layers and the resulting interference to transmission paths. The research work is then simulated and verified as part of laboratory tests and extensive measurement campaigns.
In order to be able to transmit the extremely high and constantly growing volumes of data, optical communication methods must achieve ever higher performance. Overcoming atmospheric turbulence between ground and GEO stations orbiting the earth is a key prerequisite for this. Research focuses on the development of highly efficient field sensors for adaptive optics systems under strong turbulence, real-time control systems that can process the sensor data and make corrections at high speed, control algorithms for the best possible calculation of the required correction and "pre-distortion" systems that stabilise the uplink beam to the satellite.
As the responsible group leader, you will ideally have a solid knowledge of the fundamentals of physics, especially adaptive optics, for these activities. In addition, in-depth knowledge of optical communication technologies is of great importance.
As a group leader, you are also responsible for the technical management and achievement of your group's research objectives. This includes the organisation of your group with a clear allocation of tasks and roles, but also the individual development of your employees and supporting the head of department in technical and administrative matters.
We offer you the opportunity to work on innovative research projects with state-of-the-art technology in an ambitious international environment. Flexible working hours including an individual agreement on mobile working are part of our offer to you.
This research center is part of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers. With more than 42,000 employees and an annual budget of over € 5 billion, the Helmholtz Association is Germany's largest scientific organisation.
