The Electrooptics Group is engaged in cutting-edge basic and applied research in several topics. 1. Plasmonics and nanooptics. Advanced materials (e.g.
The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Ultra Precision Engineering is currently recruiting motivated postgraduate students interested in designing and advancing the ultra-precision manufacturing technologies on strong footings of materials science/surface engineering/nanotechnology.
Join an internationally renowned scientific community with the Hector FellowPhD program. PhD students benefit not only from the experience of the program, but also from the network of Hector Fellows.
Two-dimensional semiconductors, which can be easily combined to create entirely new materials, offer completely unique opportunities to design the electronic and optical properties of individual particles at the quantum level.
You will explore the limits of ultrashort pulse generation in electrically-pumped semiconductor lasers and develop novel techniques to push their characteristics further (e.g.
Optical cavities (nanoantennas, micro-ring resonators, Fabry-Perot nanocavities, etc.) immersed in an index-near-zero environment will be modelled, fabricated, and characterised.
You will develop new techniques for the ultrafast optical characterisation of semiconductor materials under realistic laser/amplifier operating conditions, generating new knowledge essential for the development of novel ultrafast semiconductor lasers and amplifiers.
Single-Photon and photon-pair correlated imaging has opened up a number of exciting possibilities for three-dimensional imaging in extreme environments such as imaging through obscurants (eg fog, smoke), and underwater.
The goal of this project is to develop the key components of a quantum repeater based on individual electronic and nuclear spins, interfaced with photons close to telecom wavelength.
