Optical Physics (power systems) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 21 Optical Physics (power systems) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Table-top cryogenic Lasers

Supervisory Team: Jacob Mackenzie, Andy Clarkson. Project description. Cryogenically cooled lasers have proven themselves a platform-architecture for future high-energy and high-average power systems in large-scale-facilities institutes across the world. Read more

High-power Fibre Lasers for Visible Wavelengths

Supervisory Team: Prof Jayanta Sahu and Prof Johan Nilsson. Project description. Visible lasers are indispensable for applications such as display, underwater communication, microscopy, bio-photonics, optical storage, and materials processing. Read more

High power laser development

This PhD project will contribute to a major Ministry of Defence (MoD) research programme intended to develop generation after next technologies for applications in defence and security, and is co-funded by Qinetiq. Read more

Laser Based Manufacturing of Precision Optical Systems

Laser Based Manufacturing of Precision Optical Systems. Manufacturing of lasers and similar high precision optical systems is challenging in terms of the very high precision and thermo-mechanical stability that is required whilst providing for active alignment processes. Read more

Inspection of nuclear fusion components in high temperature using laser induced ultrasound phase arrays

This PhD project will face the challenges of ultrasonic imaging of nuclear fusion components using lasers to generate and detect ultrasound, remotely and in a series of environmental conditions with respect to temperature for the first time. Read more

Phased array fibre lasers with machine learning

Supervisory Team: Prof Johan Nilsson, Dr William Kerridge-Johns. Project description. This project combines state of the art optical fibre laser amplifiers with machine learning control to produce next-generation lasers. Read more

Doctor of Engineering (EngD) - Novel laser sources in the mid-infrared spectral region for security and sensing applications (Fraunhofer and University of Strathclyde)

  Research Group: CDT in Applied Photonics
This project will address the urgent requirement for new photonics tools in the mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectral region to police stricter greenhouse gas (GHG) emission standards and to progress imaging capabilities in poor visibility for security applications. Read more

Doctor of Engineering (EngD) - Next generation long range laser rangefinders based on single photon detectors and new laser technologies (Thales and Heriot-Watt University)

  Research Group: CDT in Applied Photonics
Laser Rangefinders are a key element of modern sensor systems and can range up to 20km with an accuracy of less than 1m. Thales UK produced the first in-service laser rangefinder in 1965, just a few years after the invention of the laser, and have been designing and manufacturing laser systems ever since. Read more

Laser System Design for Digital Manufacturing

Laser System Design for Digital Manufacturing. The laser resonator in defence& security systems dictate the system design and is usually the highest cost component of the system. Read more
