Automation of a flat-optics characterization setup
Bachelor internship - Leuven | Just now
The internship will focus on automating key functions of a flat-optics measurement platform to improve reproducibility, efficiency, and ease of use. The candidate will contribute to the hardware integration, software control, and user-interface development required for advanced optical characterization.
Main tasks
Build and integrate a motorized multi-axis control system for angle-resolved measurements
Integrate spectrophotometry hardware into the setup
Implement motorized polarization-control elements, including waveplates and rotators
Interface motion controllers, light sources, detectors, and auxiliary sensors
Write data-acquisition and calibration routines
Develop a Python-based graphical user interface for system control and measurements
Expected outcome
By the end of the internship, the setup should support automated and user-friendly operation for angle-resolved and polarization-resolved flat-optics measurements.
