Laser sources and semiconductor optical amplifiers for free-space orbital angular momentum communication systems
-
PhD
-
EngD
Company: Huawei Technologies (Sweden) AB
University: University of Glasgow
Supervisor: Dr Lianping Hou & Professor John Marsh
Project Description Wavelength division multiplexed（WDM）optical transceivers and semiconductor optical amplifiers have been highly engineered for use within optical fibre networking and are a key enabling technologies that are at the heart of our optical communications systems. These technologies have yet to be widely used in other optical systems such as...
Advanced optical systems for terabit free-space communications
-
PhD
-
EngD
Company: Huawei Technologies (Sweden) AB
University: University of Glasgow
Supervisor: Dr Martin Lavery
Project Description Next generation mobile communications networks, such as 6G will revolutionise the way we interact with technology, enabling super high-speed connections to our mobile devices. However, this places incredible strain on the backhaul and access networks that support 5G and beyond. Optical connections are the only viable solution for...
Atmospheric monitoring for next generation cable free optical communication technologies
-
PhD
-
EngD
Company: British Telecom
University: University of Glasgow
Supervisor: Dr Martin Lavery
Project Description Cable-free optical communication systems are vital for building the communication networks of the future. Traditionally wireless connections have been based on radio or microwave systems. However, the capacity of these systems is substantially less than optical systems. Based on detailed analysis on the network requirements from British Telcom,...
Ultra-High-Q Integrated Optical Microresonators for Frequency Comb Generation
-
PhD
-
EngD
Company: National Physical Laboratory
University: University of Glasgow
Supervisor: Professor Marc Sorel
Project Description Integrated photonics is a major emerging technological field with the potential for massive impact on the biomedical, security, defence, transportation, telecoms and other sectors. Specifically, integrated high-Q optical microresonators could form the basis for a vast array of new devices including handheld optical clocks, trace gas detectors, ultraprecise...
Photonic Sensors for Measuring Green House Gas Emissions in Dairy and Arable Production: Sustainable Precision Agriculture
-
PhD
-
EngD
Company: SRUC
University: University of Strathclyde
Supervisor: Professor Craig Michie/ Dr M Lengden
Project Description The global population is predicted to reach 9 Billion by 2050. As a consequence, increasing competition for land resource against a backdrop of climate change agricultural practices are presenting farmers with a range of challenges to improve operational efficiency and reduce greenhouse emissions. In Europe, agriculture contributes approximately...
Multi-modality image registration
-
PhD
-
EngD
Company: NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde
University: University of Strathclyde
Supervisor: Professor Stephen Marshall
Project Description The EngD student will be based at the West of Scotland PET Centre. This is one of the busiest PET Centres in the UK with on site cyclotron (GE PET Trace 6), associated laboratories and 2 clinical PETCT scanners. Whilst the centre currently houses a GE Discovery 690...
Answering Questions about Medical Images
-
PhD
-
EngD
Company: Canon Medical Research Europe, Ltd
University: University of Glasgow
Supervisor: Fani Deligianni and Jeff Dalton
Project Description Visual Question Answering (VQA) [1] is the task of answering free-text questions about the content of images. For example, given an image of a room - ‘What colour is the chair standing in the corner?’ - answering this question requires joint understanding of vision, language, spatial reasoning, and...
Intelligent and directed laser-based spectroscopy
-
PhD
-
EngD
Company: Fraunhofer UK Research Ltd
University: University of Strathclyde
Supervisor: Professor Steve Marshall / Dr Paul Murray
Project Description Laser-based spectroscopic techniques - encompassing LIBS, Raman and deep-infrared absorption spectroscopy – offer unprecedented performance for molecular and elemental diagnostics. They are however highly directional – dictated by the spatial properties of the probing laser beam. This is highly beneficial when one is interested in ascertaining the nature...
