The School of Engineering of the University of Glasgow is seeking a highly motivated graduate to undertake an exciting 3.5-year PhD project entitled All-fibre ultrafast laser for bio-imaging applications.
Advances of ultrafast lasers have enabled fascinating applications like multi-photon microscopy that has established the ability of deep-tissue imaging. Current approaches to realise such ultrafast lasers rely on nonlinear optical process which complicates the laser system with high building cost. This PhD project aims to bring in fibre laser technology to developing an affordable ultracompact laser source that represents a radical change of medical diagnosis experience, e.g., by lowering an access fee for patients and researchers. An ultrafast laser system will be designed and developed with an emphasis on high pulse energy extraction from a novel laser fibre (e.g., thulium-doped fibre). A successful PhD student will be involved in specialty fibre development and laser building to tackle fundamental and practical limits on achieving high energy ultrafast lasers. A student will gather valuable working experience with collaborators in the UK and overseas.
