PhD Projects in Microphotonics at Macquarie UniversityPhD Projects in Microphotonics: Direct writing of 2- and 3-D photonic circuits in glass, Sydney, Australia
Ultrafast laser direct-writing of embedded lightwave devices in glass has emerged as a significant enabling technology creating new opportunities in microphotonics. At the Centre for Ultrahigh-bandwidth Devices for Optical Systems (CUDOS), Macquarie University, Australia we have projects both investigating the mechanisms leading to the internal modification of glass substrates and utilising these to write waveguides, and discrete components such as amplifiers and filters.
Integrated photonic circuitry enabled by this fabrication platform promise to overcome future bottlenecks in optical fibre networks.
PhD opportunities exist to play a primary role in developing next generation optical technology whilst enjoying the benefits of a young, dynamic team on a green campus in Sydney. Attractive PhD scholarships and cotutelle arrangements are available for suitably qualified candidates.
