PhD in Photonics

This project develops high-performance ultrafast fibre lasers using advanced mode-locking, pulse compression, and power scaling techniques. Targeting applications in multiphoton microscopy, it combines cutting-edge laser physics with biological imaging. The work offers hands-on experience in experiments and simulations, with strong academic and industrial collaboration in a rapidly advancing research field. The project is supported by a £5M EPSRC Programme Grant and a £1.6M EPSRC Prosperity Partnership Grant, offering a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge laser development and its application in nonlinear bioimaging. You will gain valuable skills in experimental optics and numerical simulation, while working closely with experts in biophotonics and industry collaborators. This is an excellent opportunity to launch a successful research career in one of the fastest-growing areas of photonics.
