Welcome to the Photonic Device Dynamics Group website
The Photonic Device Dynamics Group was created in September 2006 when Dr. Guillaume Huyet joined the Department of Applied Physics and Instrumentation at the Cork Institute of Technology. The group emerged from the Optoelectronics & Non-Linear Dynamics group of University College Cork (now the Laser Physics Group), but remains a member of the Tyndall National Institute. We are based in the Institute's facilities at the Lee Maltings complex, next to the river Lee in the centre of Cork city. The group's research aims to advance the understanding of the dynamics of novel semiconductor materials and devices from both applied and fundamental viewpoints. Current areas of interest include the properties of quantum dot systems (principally InAs dots but also recently GaSb dots) and optical feedback and injection in semiconductor devices. Please use the links in the navigation bar above to learn more about our work and the members of our group.
Ph.D. and M.Sc. Student Positions Available
The PDD group has a number of places available for postgraduate students interested in pursuing either an M.Sc. or Ph.D. degree in photonics. If you are interested in applying for one of these positions, or simply want further information on them, please contact Guillaume Huyet for an informal discussion.

PROPHET - Postgraduate Research on Photonics as an Enabling TechnologyThe Photonic Device Dynamics Group are coordinating the EU FP7 Marie Curie Initial Training Network, PROPHET, which brings together 16 European partners to train the next generation of photonics researchers. 14 Ph.D. students and 5 postdoctoral researchers will be trained over four years, in the wide spectrum of skills required for a multi-disciplinary, industry-focused career in photonics. These skills will be applied in four key application areas: mode-locked lasers for Communications applications, solar cells for Energy applications, gas sensing for Environment applications and fast tunable lasers for OCT in Life Science applications. See the project website for available vacancies. Read more ... PROPHET website: www.prophet-itn.eu |
