The Emergent Photonics Lab http://www.sussex.ac.uk/physics/epic/ of the School of Mathematical and Physical Science (MPS) is pleased to offer a funded PhD position in the field of Ultrafast Photonics.
The core interest of the Emergent Photonics Lab is Ultrafast Photonics with two major research lines in Terahertz Photonics and Complex Photonics. TIMING is a multidisciplinary project funded by the European Research Council (for a value of about 1.7 Million of GBP). It involves novel approaches to imaging and exotic nonlinear field-matter interactions, including processes that generate Terahertz waves. Key to the project success are elements directly inherited from the propagation in complex optical media.
This project transversely intersects the kernel of our research interests. The outcomes are likely to have a key impact in several domains, from environmental detection to metrology, security, pharmaceutical manufacturing, medical and others.
This PhD project will complement our efforts in diagnostic technologies based on nonlinear field-matter interaction with ultrashort pulses. The candidate will gain access to the Emergent Photonics Laboratory, a 110m2 facility that comprises a very large spectrum of state-of-the-art photonic equipment (representing a total investment exceeding 2 Million of GBP from different funding sources):
- High energy ultrafast optical sources (5mJ@90fs Ppeak>50GW)
- Several types of ultrafast laser oscillators (Ti:Sa, Er-doped fibre oscillator, optical parametric oscillators).
- 30m2 of optical tables
- Two atomic-clock stabilised ultrafast optical combs
- Ultrafast microwave-on-optics diagnostics (i.e. generators, modulators and detectors)
- Ultrafast electronic acquisition systems (80GS/s with bandwidth >36GHz)
- Several diagnostic workbenches for terahertz, mid-Infrared and optical ultrashort pulses.
- Terahertz imagers
- High Energy Terahertz sources
The PhD candidate will be involved in the requisition of further major equipment.
The project goal is the establishment of a novel complex imaging approach potentially deployable (but not limited to) in the domain of Terahertz waves. The scientific production of the supervisor can be found here https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Marco_Peccianti. More details about the project will be discussed at the interview stage.
The project deploys within a fertile international collaboration of researchers. The successful candidate will join an interdisciplinary team and is expected to aim for an aggressive publication/dissemination strategy.
The project will be supervised by Prof Marco Peccianti.
