About this position

We are looking for a PhD student to work in the area of nanophotonics and plasmonics. In this experimental project, metallic nanocavities, metasurfaces and/or 2D materials will be used to confine light and enhance light-matter coupling at the nanoscale, with the aim of detecting mid-infrared (MIR) signatures of single molecules [1-5]. The project is part of a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship. Detecting MIR light, where molecular vibrations act as chemical fingerprints, normally requires cooled detectors to suppress thermal noise. We take a different route: molecular frequency upconversion. Molec
