About the Project
High quality light sources in the visible and ultraviolet spectral region are highly desirable for applications such as exoplanet detection, atomic clocks, quantum computing and precision bioimaging. However, the generation of light at these wavelengths can be challenging due to the relatively narrow spectral bandwidths of semiconductor material, resulting in a limited spectral coverage of light emitting semiconductor materials. To overcome this limitation, nonlinear optical frequency-mixing strategies can be used, which shift the complexity from light sources to nonresonant-based material effects, which can be engineering so that light conversion is particularly efficient at desired wavelengths.
This project aims to address this opportunity and explore the nonlinear optical properties of wide bandgap semiconductor materials, which are highly attractive for frequency-mixing strategies in visible and ultraviolet spectral region. As part of this project, we will also investigate how these materials can be used for efficient nonlinear optical processes in photonic integrated circuits, which unlocks additional degrees of freedom to engineer and increase the efficiency of the nonlinear optical processes.
To support this project, we are looking for highly motivated and passionate PhD students to become part of our team, working with material scientists, semiconductor engineers and photonic chip technologists. In this PhD project you will take in the positive, supportive, and exciting research environment that exists within the Schools of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering and the Institute for Photonics and Advanced Sensing (IPAS) at the University of Adelaide.
During your PhD studies, you will learn important research skills in the field of material science, nonlinear optics and integrated photonics, in addition to soft skills such as engaging with both industrial and academic end-users, writing of reports, giving presentations and promoting your work and working towards project milestones within timeframes. The knowledge and key skills that you will gain during your PhD studies will set you up for an inspiring career and suitable if you have ambition to join the emerging and rapidly growing semiconductor and integrated photonics segment within the broader global high tech industry.
Selection process
Selection criteria includes research potential, research experience, previous publications in scientific journals and alignment with the University of Adelaide Research Strategy. Applicants should send their CV and list of publications directly to Dr Andy Boes (Andy.boes@adelaide.edu.au). The application process is currently open and will continue to be open until all positions have been filled. We highly encourage interested candidates to apply as soon as possible. Due to the number of applications we are receiving, we are only able to get back to you if you have been shortlisted for an interview.
Compulsory:
• Completion of the Bachelor of Science with Honours (first class) or a similar qualification in an engineering degree.
• Knowledge of optical physics, specifically integrated optics and nonlinear optics.
• Good programming skills in Matlab/Python.
• Great communication and presentation skills.
Desirable:
• Skills in instrument automation and/or interfacing are desirable but not compulsory.
• Experience in writing scientific publications and reports.
