Core and core-shell nanomaterials synthesis for Optoelectronics
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
Dr S Hickey, Dr W Martin
Applications accepted all year round
Nanoscience and technology, which involves the manipulation of materials using the property of size to bring about specific desired changes in the electronic structure of materials, has proven to be a powerful additional tool permitting the materials scientist to effect greater control over the charge transport properties in materials.
Ultra-stable fibre optics using new-generation optical fibres
Dr R Slavik, Dr F Poletti, Dr E Numkam Fokoua, Prof D Richardson
Applications accepted all year round
We are looking for a candidate with an interest in fibre optics and a degree or masters’ degree in physics or electronics to join us in researching the applications of brand new hollow core optical fibres developed at the University of Southampton (see ‘Further information’ below).
Integrated optical elements for miniaturised atom traps
Prof P Smith, Dr C Holmes, Dr J Gates
Applications accepted all year round
Working as part of the UK Quantum technology hub in Sensors and Metrology led by Birmingham University, this project aims to build optical components for cold atom chips for miniaturised atom traps.
Scalable heralded single-photon sources
Prof P Smith, Dr D Smith, Dr J Gates, Dr C Gawith
Applications accepted all year round
The single-photon source is the fundamental building block for quantum technologies in photonics, particularly for quantum computing.
Ultra-precision physical micro-machining of planar optical materials
