The course is based on the strong record of optical technologies across research divisions in the department of physics and the collaborating institutions:
- Optics Division (Physics)
- Plasma Division (Physics)
- Nanoscience Division (Physics)
- Institute of Photonics
- Centre for Biophotonics
- Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering
You can choose classes relevant to your career interests from a wide range of topics including:
- photonicsÊand photonic materials
- nanosciences
- optics at the physics-life sciences interface
- laser-based plasma physics
- quantum optics and quantum information technology
YouÕll put the knowledge gained in the taught components to use in a cutting-edge research project.
The course gives you the opportunity of exploring and mastering a large range of optical technologies. It enables you to put devices in the context of an optical system and/or application.
WhoÕs the course suitable for?
ItÕs suitable for those with a science or engineering background wanting to gain a vocational degree or to obtain a solid foundation for an optics-related PhD programme.
ItÕs also appropriate for those whoÕve worked in industry and want to consolidate their future career by further academic studies.
YouÕll study
The course consists of two semesters of taught classes followed by a three- month research project.
