Blue Laser Fusion, Inc.
Laser (Coherent Beam Combining) Engineer
Blue Laser Fusion, Inc., California, Missouri, United States, 65018
Overview
Laser (Coherent Beam Combining) Engineer
( Job code:2025001) Qualifications
Ph.D. in Lasers, Optics, Physics, Engineering, or a related field, with experience in high-energy laser system design and development
Strong expertise in high energy laser coherent beam combining technologies
Background and expertise with semiconductor laser sources and fiber laser amplifiers
Proficiency with modeling software such as Finesse, Zemax, COMSOL, Lumerical, RSoft, Python, Mathematica, or ANSYS Lumerical for laser and cavity simulations.
Experience developing electro-mechanical feedback systems is desirable
Experience working in cross-disciplinary teams across multiple technical fields
About Blue Laser Fusion (BLF):
BLF is a startup based in Goleta, CA, developing a high-energy laser system to enable laser-driven inertial fusion energy (IFE). Following the success of the National Ignition Facility at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, BLF aims to create a high-energy, high repetition-rate laser capable of sustaining repeated nuclear fusion reactions. We are tackling the key scientific and engineering challenges necessary to make this a reality. Job Description
We are seeking an experienced engineer to drive the development of advanced high energy laser systems using coherent beam combining techniques. The BLF laser-optical enhancement cavity platform utilizes a Fabry-Pérot cavity to stack and store a train of lower power pulses into kJ+ high-energy pulses. This system requires: Ultra-high reflectivity mirrors
Pulsed, high power laser injection
High finesse cavities up to 150m in length
Precise resonance tuning between the input laser and the cavity
Minimization of optical losses
The Laser Engineer will enhance BLF’s laser-OEC concept by: Developing CBC laser sources with increased input power
Developing active optical, mechanical, and feedbacking elements to maintain resonance
Work with laser and fiber amplifier vendors to develop and procure optimal sources
Modeling optical performance of the laser-enhancement cavity using industry-standard software
Assessing thermal effects at higher input powers
Troubleshooting and optimizing system performance
The Laser Engineer will be expected to: Work on site primarily in Goleta (Santa Barbara), CA
Occasionally travel to work with international and domestic development partners
Work closely with BLF Founder, Shuji Nakamura
Benefits
Competitive salary commensurate with experience. Comprehensive medical and dental benefits package. Paid vacation and holidays. Professional development opportunities. Stock options Join us in advancing fusion energy technology and pushing the boundaries of high-energy laser systems.
