PhD Studentship: Hollow Core Optical Fibres Embedded with 2D Materials

Supervisory Group: Dr Pier Sazio, Dr Ioannis Zeimpekis 

Venture Description:

Hole core optical fibre waveguide geometries have gotten more and more related to fashionable telecommunications programs, an exemplar of which is the anti-resonant fibre (ARF) construction, which might information gentle within the air core utilizing quite a lot of cladding architectures. Intriguingly, the excessive inner floor space introduced by this waveguide geometry provides a really perfect materials deposition template for sturdy light-matter interplay and to this finish, now we have developed world main information and experience in deposition applied sciences that permit all kinds of purposeful supplies similar to semiconductors and metals to be embedded inside these air-silica constructions. 

Extra lately, now we have explored the extraordinary properties of atomically skinny two-dimensional (2D) supplies inside ARF constructions, opening up thrilling alternatives for next-generation photonic and optoelectronic units and functions on the monolayer restrict. On this PhD studentship, the candidate will additional develop this novel composite materials ARF (CM-ARF) know-how, spanning the multidisciplinary remit between cleanroom primarily based, 2D supplies fibre integration know-how for the extremely progressive CM-ARF platform, with functions in energetic photon administration and light-weight processing capabilities. Evaluation of system properties will probably be carried out in our totally geared up characterization laboratories, complemented by numerical simulation research to finish the event cycle. 

This photonic system know-how and supplies science pushed mission would thus be appropriate for a extremely motivated candidate with a robust physics/supplies/engineering associated background and programming skills to develop extremely transferable abilities in cleanroom pattern fabrication and digital/photonic system characterisation, numerical simulations working with main tutorial consultants.

Should you want to talk about any particulars of the mission informally, please contact Dr Pier Sazio, Novel Glass Analysis Group, Electronic mail [email protected]   

Entry Necessities

An excellent undergraduate diploma (a minimum of a UK 2:1 honours diploma, or its worldwide equal). 

Closing Date : 31 August 2024. Purposes will probably be thought-about within the order that they’re acquired, the place will probably be thought-about crammed when an appropriate candidate has been recognized. 

Funding: For UK college students, tuition charges and a stipend on the UKRI price plus £2,000 ORC enhancement tax-free each year for as much as 3.5 years (totalling round £21,000 for 2024/25, rising yearly). We provide a variety of funding alternatives for each UK and worldwide college students, together with Bursaries and Scholarships.  For extra data please go to PhD Scholarships Doctoral School College of Southampton . Funding will probably be awarded on a rolling foundation, so apply early for one of the best alternative to be thought-about.
