Immediately available is a PhD scholarship in the research and development of diamond lasers. We are using artificial diamonds to convert and tailor the light output from conventional laser sources, with a particular focus on creating versatile narrow-band and single-longitudinal-mode lasers for applications such as chemical detection and quantum control. We are funded in part by M Squared Lasers, a UK laser company, so that our research outcomes can be quickly translated to real-world applications. There will be opportunity to travel and collaborate with this partner.
