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

Entry requirements: First or upper second-class degree or equivalent

Closing date: Applications should be received no later than 30 September 2019 for standard admissions, but later applications may be considered depending on the funds remaining in place.

Duration: Typically 3.5 years (full-time)

Funding: Full tuition plus, for UK students, an enhanced stipend of up to £21,000 tax-free per annum for up to 3.5 years.
