Project Summary

1. Laser-produced plasmas: Plasmas can be generated from various targets by irradiating them with powerful laser beams. The plasma thus formed can be investigated in detail using optical and electrical techniques. These studies lead to a plethora of applications including trace element analysis. The RA will be required to carry out planned experiments and analyze the results for publication.
2. Nonlinear optical studies: Nonlinear Optics has multiple applications including optical frequency conversion, generation of short and ultrashort laser pulses, and protection of sensitive light detectors from laser-induced damage. The RA will be required to carry out planned experiments in novel materials and analyze the results for publication.

Qualifications

• Post graduate degree in Physics/ Photonics or graduate degree in Electronics/ Electrical/ Photonics/ Optical Engineering with a minimum of 70 % marks or 7.0 CGPA.
• At least six months’ experience in doing experimental projects using lasers as light sources.
• It will be desirable if the candidate has good computing and programming skills, and is familiar with laser based spectroscopy experiments in nonlinear optics and/ or laser-produced plasmas.
• Upper Age Limit: The upper limit is 28 years as on the last date for closing of applications.

Remuneration

A consolidated remuneration of Rs. 23,500/- per month at commencement + HRA (24% of consolidated remuneration) will be paid to the selected candidates. An increment of Rs. 1000/- will be provided in the second year.
