Development of novel fibre-based thermometers for harsh environments
Dr F Poletti
Applications accepted all year round
Supervisor. Prof Francesco Poletti. Co-supervisor. Dr Eric Numkam Fokoua, Dr Joris Lousteau. When immersed in a harsh environment, i.e in ionizing radiation, silica glass, one of the most transparent materials known to date, quickly becomes opaque.

Prof D Richardson
Application Deadline:
31 August 2019
Supervisor. Professor David Richardson FRS, FREng. Co-supervisors. Dr Hans Christian Mulvad and Dr Lin Xu. Project Description. This project will seek to demonstrate new record power levels for laser power delivery using hollow core fibres (HCFs).
Hollow Core Fibres for Mid-infrared Gas Sensing, Quantum Optics & Metrology
Dr N Wheeler, Dr F Poletti, Dr T Bradley
Application Deadline:
31 August 2019
This project focusses on exploiting novel hollow core fibres to make new mid-infrared devices. The mid-infrared spectral region represents a rapidly growing research area which is especially interesting for gas-light interactions as the strongest absorption features of many gas species lie in this region.
