Are you an HBO/University student and passionate about physics and optics? Do you want to apply your knowledge to optimize high-tech measurement instruments? Then this internship might be the perfect opportunity for you! About Avantes Avantes is a leading innovator in fiber-optic spectroscopy, with over 30 years of experience developing cutting-edge spectrometers, light sources, fiber optics, software, and accessories. Our technology enables spectroscopy and material characterization in various industries, supporting scientific and industrial advancements. We achieve this through a service-oriented mindset, encouraging and motivating each other with a professional and constructive attitude. We envision a future where our advanced optical solutions serve as catalysts for driving innovations that enhance the quality of life and contribute to a thriving, sustainable society. Curious to discover how our products can be implemented in the field? Check out this video! Assignment Single-beam spectrometers measure signal intensity from one optical path. However, they are sensitive to: • Source intensity fluctuations • Plasma instability (LIBS) • Laser power drift • Detector sensitivity changes • Environmental variations A dual-beam spectrometer introduces a reference channel alongside the sample channel, enabling: • Real-time intensity normalization • Improved quantitative stability • Drift compensation • Higher signal reproducibility • Reduced noise from source fluctuations Dual-beam systems are widely used in absorption spectroscopy but are less common in emission spectroscopy or LIBS setups. Evaluating the feasibility and performance benefits in advanced spectroscopy systems is therefore of strong technical interest. Objectives • Investigate different dual-beam spectrometer architectures • Evaluate technical feasibility for laboratory or industrial integration • Design a conceptual prototype • Assess performance improvements compared to single-beam systems We are looking for: We are looking for an enthusiastic HBO or WO student with a background in: • Applied Physics • Mechanical Engineering We offer: • A good compensation per month • Travel reimbursement of €0,23 per km (when traveling by car) • Informal work atmosphere, short lines of communication • Working in a high-tech environment Interested?
