Preparation and Characterisation of ‘Green’ Photocathodes for the Generation of High-Brightness Electron Beams

University of Liverpool Department of Physics

The quality of the electron beam in an accelerator is limited largely by that of the electron source. Fourth generation light sources such as the planned UK X-FEL and ultrafast electron diffraction projects require high-brightness electron sources. Read more

Mid-infrared hollow-core fibre and laser development for environmental monitoring, non-invasive surgery and advanced manufacturing

University of Southampton Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences

In this project we will develop hollow-core optical fibres (HCFs) for mid-infrared laser delivery. HCFs offer a radically new solution for laser delivery as they guide light in a gas-filled core, instead of the glass in conventional optical fibres. Read more

Supervisor: Dr N Wheeler

Year round applications PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)
