PhD in Amorphous Nonlinear Photonics for Scalable Optical and Quantum Devices University of Southampton in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in hollow-core fibre for high power laser applications . This project sits in the areas of optical physics , computational physics , and photonic fibre research. Hollow-core fibres guide light through air and are being developed as the next generation of optical fibre. The project will investigate larger-core fibre designs for transmitting high-power laser light, including how light propagates, how fibres interact with different lasers, and how ne...
