Lasers are a key enabling technology, powering progress from manufacturing to quantum technologies. The common thread in engineering systems tailored to these applications is to requirement to make high performance lasers smaller and more robust. Exploiting novel materials – such as high optical quality synthetic diamond – provides a route to achieving these goals.
The studentship will have two parallel themes:
The Institute of Photonics (IoP), established in 1996, is a commercially-oriented research unit at the University of Strathclyde, the Times Higher Education UK University of the Year 2012/13 and UK Entrepreneurial University of the Year 2013/14. The Institute’s key objective is to bridge the gap between academic research and industrial applications and development in the area of photonics. The offices and laboratories of the IoP are based in Strathclyde’s Glasgow city centre campus. We are part of the Strathclyde Technology and Innovation Centre (TIC) initiative and co-located with the new Fraunhofer Centre for Applied Photonics. Researchers at the IoP are active in a broad range of photonics fields under the areas of Photonic Devices, Advanced Lasers and Neurophotonics.
