Physics PhD projects on FindaPhD.com

We offer projects over a broad spectrum of subject areas. Projects are available as part of Centres for Doctoral Training as well as on an individual basis.
Optical fibres truly are the backbone of the modern economy and of society. Creating the next generation of optical fibres – with performance that way surpasses that of existing fibres – is our objective. Our research has led to repeated breakthroughs in fibre design and performance. Within our laboratories, we can literally see with our own eyes things that surprise the physics community, world-wide. Our current work will lead to new products and technologies in existing markets as well as entirely new application areas.
Current research is focused on the design and fabrication of new kinds of hollow-core fibres, studying their properties and performance including in spectral bands where conventional optical fibres cannot be used, nonlinear properties of the fibres, applications of hollow-core and photonic crystal fibres for emerging quantum technologies, fibres for use in novel light sources, and medical and bio-medical applications of novel fibres.
