Program description
Faculty of Physics
Photonics is the science and technology of generating and controlling photons. The science of photonics includes the emission, transmission, deflection, amplification, manipulation, detection and utilization of light. In principle it enables the use of light in different areas that are essential to society and economy. Photonics is of great importance in many industrial sectors and areas that use photonic technology for research, data- and telecommunication, business, education, security and defense, imaging, medicine, process control, biotechnology, quantum computation, energy generation, environmental sensing, etc. The two-year Master program in the area of Photonics provides students a unique opportunity to become familiar with the applications of light in fields that range from fundamental research to technological applications. Graduates of the program represent excellent knowledge in mathematics, physics, electronics, and information technologies and have high level of qualifications to work for various institutions. During studies they may learn both: theory and practice, and they are following the core photonic courses as Electromagnetism Theory, Principles of Optics, Fourier Optics and Nonlinear Optics, as well as Optical Imaging Theory. The Faculty offers also advanced and specialized courses in optics and photonics covering all relevant fundamental research and applications including training in lasers, optical and photonic crystal fibers, liquid crystal photonics, optical waveguides, displays, holography, optoelectronics, optical sensing, data and telecommunication, terahertz technology, new material technology, ultra-fast and nonlinear optical phenomena, photovoltaics. Photonics course offers advanced laboratories.
