About the project
This project will pioneer ultra-stable, low-noise fibre lasers engineering for next-generation quantum technologies. By combining innovative cavity design, thermal control, and frequency stabilization, you'll develop compact, high-performance laser systems crucial for quantum sensing, secure communications, and advanced photonic computing platforms.
Quantum technology advancement depends critically on laser sources that maintain exceptional frequency stability and spectral purity. Even minor noise or drift can limit precision measurement or qubit control. This project addresses these challenges through the development of advanced, low-noise fibre laser systems tailored to quantum applications. The work will encompass innovative laser cavity design, noise suppression strategies, and advanced stabilisation methods, targeting sub-kHz linewidths and long-term frequency stability.
Leveraging the inherent advantages of fibre systems, such as compactness, mechanical robustness, and excellent beam quality, you'll build and characterise experimental laser prototypes, integrating precision feedback control and optical metrology techniques. You'll acquire deep expertise in fibre optics, laser engineering, and quantum photonics.
This project offers hands-on laboratory experience in designing, building, and testing cutting-edge laser systems, as well as opportunities to collaborate with world-leading quantum research groups and industrial partners. When you graduate, you'll be equipped with a unique skill set at the intersection of photonics and quantum technology, an essential foundation for careers in both academic research and advanced technology industries.
