A scholarship is available for a PhD student to assist in creating integrated photonic components for a chip scale optical atomic clock

This project will explore the use of integrated photonic chip technology to realise all of the components of an atomic clock on a single chip.  It will be conducted within the context of the internationally recognised Integrated Photonics and Applications Centre working with a team of more than 50 people at RMIT University and beyond.  Through this project you will learn about both integrated optics technology and the science and technology of atomic clocks.  You will learn about the applications of this technology in defence and civilian applications and will see how advanced technology is created and translated to real world applications.
