PhD position in Colloidal Synthesis of Nanoscale Optics (1.0 FTE) |
|||
Job description |
|||
Optical (nano)technologies form a growing area that will play an important role in our future, empowering fields like optical circuitry, quantum computing, ultra-sensitive sensing, and light harvesting. The ability to deliver optical energy as efficiently as possible will be crucial to apply such technologies outside the lab. The research of Dr. Marlous Kamp focusses on using colloidal synthesis to develop micron- and nanoscale lenses that control the optical pathways out of/into nano-optical devices, optimising their performance. For example, simple colloidal spheres can already focus light below the diffraction limit, allowing for nanoscale optical energy delivery. This strategy routines achieves great amplification of signals captured from light-emitting molecules, allowing new optical phenomena to be observed such as the dynamics and reaction kinetics of even single molecules. Ultimately, such colloidal lenses will facilitate the miniaturisation of devices by eliminating the need to incorporate bulky optical components. To achieve this goal, both established and new colloidal synthesis strategies are used to design and produce such novel colloidal/nanostructures, in conjunction with advanced optical and electron microscope characterisation techniques and supported by theoretical modelling. |
