New optical components and devices from micro-structured fibres

A range of hollow core micro-structured fibres have been developed over the past 10 years with promising and unique optical properties. This project will investigate ways to vastly increase the application of such fibres using novel post processing techniques (such as laser micro-machining) in order to realise a new class of optical devices and components.

All applicants must have or expect to have a 1st class MChem, MPhys, MSci, MEng or equivalent degree by Autumn 2019. Selection will be based on academic excellence and research potential, and all short-listed applicants will be interviewed (in person or by Skype). DTP’s are only open to UK/EU applicants. DTP Studentships are only available for students who meet residency requirements set out by EPSRC.
