Integrated Photonics Technology Development For Remote Sensing
About the role
The participant will develop integrated photonics technology for space-based remote sensing applications. Integrated photonics is used for light creation, manipulation, processing and detection in a chip-based technology. It is compact, light-weight, efficient, and has the potential for high reliability and complex functionality. Participation can include ideation, design, layout, modeling, analysis and testing of photonic chips and integrating chips into larger instruments. Applications include remote sensors like microwave photonics radiometers, compact lidar systems. We are interested in miniaturization of existing capabilities as well enabling new capabilities.
Responsibilities
Work in collaboration with science and engineering team members to understand the context for the NASA application and the instrument measurement goals and how the novel technologies enable or improve existing capabilities in remote sensing.
