Developing Terahertz Frequency Drivers for Novel Accelerators
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
Doctor of Engineering (EngD) - Novel laser designs to exploit low-cost-per-Watt pumping of Ti:sapphire for application in sensing, imaging, and precise timing technologies (Fraunhofer and University of Strathclyde)
Research Group:
CDT in Applied Photonics
This studentship will build on the synergies between the parallel programmes at Fh-CAP and the IoP. Read more
Active Colloidal-Quantum-Dot Light Emitting Devices: QD Laser and QD LEDs
Research Group:
Condensed Matter and Photonics
Realization of electrically pumped lighting and lasing with colloidal quantum dots will have a revolutionary impact on many disciplines including display, photonics, optical communication, chemical sensing, and medical diagnostics. Read more
Novel laser plasma acceleration – making accelerators smaller, cheaper, better
Applications are invited for a fully funded studentship from Oct 2023 in laser-driven plasma wakefield acceleration (LWFA). Read more
Doctor of Engineering (EngD) - Next generation long range laser rangefinders based on single photon detectors and new laser technologies (Thales and Heriot-Watt University)
Research Group:
CDT in Applied Photonics
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
Lasers for quantum-enabled position, navigation, and timing technologies
Duration. 3.5yrs. Description. National infrastructure systems are dependent upon the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), such that 5 days of outage would cost the UK >£5bn [1]. This economic reliance on GNSS, e.g. Read more
Laser Driven Neutron Sources at High Repetition Rate
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
Particle accelerator simulations for new particle physics experiments
Particle colliders are incredibly complex and expensive devices to design, construct, operate and maintain. Read more
Monitoring Buildings, Volcanoes and Seismic Activity Using Large Ring Laser Gyroscopes
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
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) - A study of Rydberg atom for sensing and communication applications (MBDA UK and University of Edinburgh)
Research Group:
CDT in Applied Photonics
A Rydberg atom possesses a very high dipole moment with valence electrons that are very loosely bound (quasi-free), leading to a highly sensitive response to an external electromagnetic (EM) field. Read more
Combining laser and ultrasound based molecular delivery strategies for enhanced drug delivery
Overview. This project addresses the critical area of delivering therapeutics to the skin. If successful, the approach will have direct and positive consequences for the treatment of a range of skin diseases, but may also be viewed as a more generic means of drug delivery for treating a much wider range of disease. Read more
Hollow beam lasers and laser processing using ultrafast nanostructured optical components
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
Doctor of Engineering (EngD) - Visible wavelength optical metasurfaces for use in human-machine interfaces (STMicroelectronics and University of St Andrews)
Research Group:
CDT in Applied Photonics
Optical metasurfaces offer complete freedom in definition of an optical function and do so on a flat surface. This property enables fabrication of sophisticated optics at wafer-level and therefore opens up the possibility of ultra-high-volume manufacture, in particular to address consumer markets. Read more
Photochemistry, electron transfer and catalysis mapped by a combination of ultrafast laser and X-ray spectroscopies
We seek an enthusiastic candidate with a degree in Chemistry, Physics, or related discipline (e.g., engineering) to work on a PhD project available in Professor Julia Weinstein’s group at the University of Sheffield, UK. Read more
