Master of Science in Optics and Photonics Technology
The program leading to Master of Science degree in Optics and Photonics Technology is an innovative program developed for designation as a professional science master’s program. Its thrust is to prepare students for immediate employment in the optics, photonics and semiconductor industries. This program emphasizes hands-on experience in laboratories enhanced by Industrial internships and combines the rigorous studies of fundamental modern physics with developing critical communication skills and strategic business learning.
Members of the department are engaged in experimental and theoretical research in such fields as light propagation, localization and emission in photonic periodic, quasiperiodic and disordered materials, including random lasers; , optical microresonators and their applications in sensing, optical logic elements, and new types of lasers, optics and magneto-optics of semiconductor nanostructures such as quantum dots, quantum wires and quantum wells; photonic nanostructures for biosensing and solar cell applications; application of methods of condensed matter physics to biophysical problems, and nanoelectromechanical systems.
