PhD Studentship: 2-micron Integrated Photonics

3 months ago


Southampton, Southampton, United Kingdom University of Southampton Full time

PhD Supervisor: Jacob Mackenzie

Supervisory Team: Jacob Mackenzie, Goran Mashanovich, Colin Mitchell

Project description

Integrated photonics has come of age, enabled by nano-fabrication technologies. We seek a talented applicant to advance the development of novel on-chip sources in the 2-micron wavelength window, coupled with integrated modulation and detection schemes. The 2-micron band has become a promising candidate for the next communication window and there are also several sensing applications (e.g., glucose detection). Capitalising on our advanced cleanroom facilities you would work in a team engineering active and nonlinear materials, and structures, as well as silicon photonics integrated circuits, that will underpin new functional communications and sensing devices on the silicon photonics platform.

We are looking for an eager and conscientious applicant to develop processes for developing active and non-linear configurations that will address unrealised opportunities for IR-photonic integrated circuits. Your role will include design and development of 2-micron lasers coupled with non-linear and functionalised optical-waveguide circuits leading to new operating regimes and applications.

Due to the nature of this project, there will be opportunity for both inter-disciplinary research with academic and industrial collaborators with interests in sensing and communications in the 2-micron wavelength range.

If you wish to discuss any details of the project informally, please contact Jacob Mackenzie, Planar Waveguide and Slab Lasers Research, Email: , Tel: , or Goran Mashanovich, Silicon Photonics, Email: , Tel:

Entry Requirements

A very good undergraduate degree (at least a UK 2:1 honours degree, or its international equivalent).

Closing date
