Course Overview

The course allows you to explore and master an extensive range of optical technologies, enabling you to put devices in the context of an optical system and application. The course is based on the solid record of optical technologies across research divisions in the Department of Physics in collaboration with:

• Optics Division (Physics)

• Plasma Division (Physics)

• Nanoscience Division (Physics)

• Institute of Photonics

• Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering

You’ll use the knowledge gained in the taught components in a cutting-edge research project.
