From time to time Del Mar Photonics posts announcements for PhD research scholarships and postdoctoral positions in different locations worldwide. Most of those positions are relevant to Del Mar Photonics product portfolio, so we belive that our current and potential customers can be intersted in those opportunities. To find more opportunities go to the main page and search for Postdoc on that page. Some positions can be already filled out - we do not track if the positions are current.


Please can you bring the following PhD Studentship to the attention of prospective candidates.
Funded BDI (CNRS) PhD Studentship in Dynamics at the University of Bordeaux 1:
"Dynamics of reactions F(²P) or O(¹D) with H2, and N with NO"
Supervisors: Dr Astrid Bergeat and Pr Christian Naulin, Institute of Molecular Sciences, University of Bordeaux 1.
Starting October 2011 for a period of 3 years.

Project Description
The thesis work involves the experimental investigation of atom-molecule and atom-radical reactions of interest to the chemistry of interstellar environments and planetary atmospheres, as well as of fundamental interest. Our recently upgraded crossed molecular beam apparatus will be used to study these processes to low collision energies (the "record" of 0.066 kJ / mol which corresponds to a thermally average temperature of ca. 5 K has been obtained for the S(1D) + H2 reaction study).

For further information about the project please contact Dr Astrid Bergeat, a.bergeat@ism.u-bordeaux1.fr (Tel: +33 5 40 00 63 41) or Pr Christian Naulin c.naulin@ism.u-bordeaux1.fr (Tel: +33 5 40 00 24 67)
The University of Bordeaux 1
The Institute of Molecular Sciences
The COMEX group

Funding is available for both French and EU Nationals. The salary will be approximately ?1,757 per month before tax.
Applicants should have, or expect to receive, a Masters degree in Chemistry, Physics or Astronomy/Astrophysics. Experience in the areas of experimental chemical kinetics, reaction dynamics, experimental molecular physics or spectroscopy is advantageous, but not a necessity.

Open Microchannel Plate Detector MCP-MA25/2 - now in stock! DEL MAR Microchannel Plate Detectors MCP-MA series are an open MCP detectors with one or more microchannel plates and a single metal anode. They are intended for time-resolved detection and make use of high-speed response properties of the MCPs. MCP-MA detectors are designed for photons and particles detection in vacuum chambers or in the space. MCP-MA detectors are used in a variety of applications including UV, VUV and EUV spectroscopy, atomic and molecular physics, TOF mass–spectrometry of clusters and biomolecules, surface studies and space research. MCP-MA detectors supplied as a totally assembled unit that can be easily mounted on any support substrate or directly on a vacuum flange. They also can be supplied premounted on a standard ConFlat flanges. buy online - ask for research discount!

Axicon Lens Axicon lens also known as conical lens or rotationally symmetric prism is widely used in different scientific research and application. Axicon can be used to convert a parallel laser beam into a ring, to create a non diffractive Bessel beam or to focus a parallel beam into long focus depth. Del Mar Photonics supplies axicons with cone angles range from 130° to 179.5° for use with virtually any laser radiation. We manufacture and supply axicons made from BK7 glass, fused silica and other materials. buy online - download brochure

Rutile (TiO2) coupling prisms Del Mar Photonics offers optical elements made of high quality synthetically grown Rutile Titanium Dioxide crystals. Rutile’s strong birefringency, wide transmission range and good mechanical properties make it suitable for fabrication of polarizing cubes, prisms and optical isolators. Boules having high optical transmission and homogeneity are grown by proprietary method. Typical boules have 10 - 15 mm in dia. and up to 25 mm length. Optical elements sizes - from 2 x 2 x 1 mm to 12.7 x 12.7 x 12.7 mm. Laser grade polish quality is available for finished elements. So far we the largest elements that we manufactured are 12 x15 x 5 mm, in which optical axis is parallel to 15 mm edge, 5 mm is along beam path, 12 x 15 mm faces polished 20/10 S/D, one wave flatness, parallelism < 3 arc.min. (better specs. available on request). more details - buy online - download brochure

Manufacturing challenging optical components Our group works to characterize the interaction of biomolecules with solid surfaces, writes Dennis Hore of University of Victoria, Canada.  Nature designs proteins with well-defined structures in solution.  The conformation of these molecules may serve a structural purpose, or a chemical one in the case of enzymes.  In order to further the progress of technologies that immobilize such molecules on synthetic surfaces (like biosensors employing enzymes), it is important to have a detailed understanding and control of the interactions of these molecules with the surface more For that project Del Mar has been able to manufacture all shapes of prisms from CaF2, fused silica, and ZnSe according to our custom specifications. Del Mar Photonics online store features windows, prisms, lenses, attenuators, etalons, crystals and wafers, and other items. Axicons, barium fluoride windows, germanium etalons, rutile (TiO2) prisms, microchannel plates and detectors, saturable absorber mirrors, photoconductive THz antennas, lithium niobate wafers and crystals and many other high quality affordable components for scientific research and OEM production are delivered globally from stock.
