PhD (Science, Engineering): University of Southampton
PhD Position – Development of power-scalable and wavelength-flexible fibre lasers in the two-micron wavelength band to serve the needs of emerging applications in medicine and materials processing.
Reference: 1150719PN
Supervisor: Prof. Andy Clarkson
Co-supervisor: Dr Peter Shardlow
Start date: Typically September / October 2019
Overview
Two-micron fibre laser technology has the potential to yield a wealth of new applications in areas such as industrial laser processing, medicine, defence and optical communications. Moreover, significant power scaling advantages can be gained by moving from traditional ytterbium-doped fibre lasers operating in the one-micron band to the two-micron band. The main focus of this project will be to create a world leading power-scalable two-micron fibre laser platform based on thulium and holmium-doped fibres for operation in continuous-wave and pulsed regimes.
PhD program
The Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC) PhD program comprises a solid education for a research career. The structured first year involves attending our training program running in parallel with carrying out your research project. This provides a smooth transition from your degree course towards the more open-ended research that takes place in the following years under the guidance of your project supervisors.
Position Details
