Laser Rangefinders are a key element of modern sensor systems and can range up to 20km with an accuracy of less than 1m. Thales UK produced the first in-service laser rangefinder in 1965, just a few years after the invention of the laser, and have been designing and manufacturing laser systems ever since. Read more
Supervisory Team. Dr Yongmin Jung and Prof. David Richardson. Project description. Fibre lasers have no moving parts/mirrors in the light generating source and have emerged as the technology of choice for a wide range of industrial, medical and fundamental science applications. Read more
Despite the high demand for neutron sources in a wide range of applications from material science to health-care [1, 2], the number of accessible neutron sources has decreased in the last years due to the phasing out of nuclear research reactors. Read more
Novel acceleration schemes, such as THz-driven acceleration, aim to drastically shrink the size, and cost of future particle accelerators compared to conventional radio-frequency (RF) technology [1,2]. Read more
Supervisory Team. Prof Andy Clarkson and Prof Peter Kazansky. Project description. Laser modes with a doughnut-shaped beam profile can have many unique properties, including axially-symmetric polarisation (azimuthal or radial) or orbital angular momentum. Read more
Description. Monitoring Buildings, Volcanoes and Seismic Activity Using Large Ring Laser Gyroscopes. A ring laser is a self-excited optical oscillator employing a cavity where the round trip path encloses a finite area. Read more
PhD Fellowship. Applications are invited from suitably qualified candidates for a full-time PhD position at the University of Galway, Ireland. Read more
Supervisory Team. Ben Mills, James Grant-Jacob. Project description. Advances in lasers now allow the laser-based processing of almost any material. Read more
Within the Applied Optics and Photonics Group at Heriot-Watt there is ongoing research focused on the manufacture of functionally graded shape memory alloys, using Laser Induced Forward Transfer (LIFT), a flexible “direct write” process that allows materials to be controllably deposited at the microscale.
