Research Paid Position

A research project entitled “Evaluation of the optical and mechanical properties of chalcogenide fiber” is under way during the Spring 2016 semester at CREOL. Lockheed Martin is funding a program led by Dr Kenneth L Schepler (schepler@creol.ucf.edu) to evaluate the state of the art in chalcogenide fiber durability. Chalcogenide glass fibers will be tested for their ability to transport high-power infrared laser beams. We will measure beam transmission and beam quality as a function of input power in chalcogenide fibers made commercially and at CREOL.
We are in need of an undergraduate student to perform laboratory tasks such as fiber cleaving/polishing, data acquisition, and data analysis. Students interested in applying for this research position should meet the following requirements:

  • successfully completed OSE 4520/OSE 4520L Laser Engineering
  • GPA of 3.0 or higher
  • full-time student working towards a Bachelor of Science degree in Photonic Science and Engineering
  • NOT currently involved in Senior Project work
  • US citizenship
  • provide CREOL faculty reference

Students will be expected to work 10 hours per week between now and 31 May 2017. Work will be overseen by CREOL faculty and graduate students. Final briefings will be given by students to Lockheed Martin representatives interested in potential new hires.

Please contact Dr. Schepler at schepler@creol.ucf.edu
