A one and half years postdoctoral research fellowship is available in a collaborative H2020 project entitled “High-power ultrafast lasers using tapered double-clad fibre”

This research will be undertaken in the Optoelectronics & Biomedical Photonics Group, in the Aston Institute of Photonics Technologies, Aston University, UK

This is a joint research programme capitalising on the knowledge and expertise of the partners in the laser development and photonics. The aims of the project are to overcome scientific and technical challenges to the realisation of a world record power 2.5kW laser providing from picosecond down to femtoseconds pulses at repetition rates up to 1GHz with excellent beam quality.

The successful applicant will be responsible in conducting independent research in wide range of the development of new semiconductor based lasers and systems.  The applicant will be working in collaboration with the other project partner to develop and investigate of novel lasers.

The successful applicant should have a PhD and research experience in semiconductor laser development physics. Experience in cleanroom work are beneficial.
