Overview
Strictly, the term “Photonics” stands for the science of photon. The classical meaning refers to fiber-optic communication originated in the 1980s. Today the term incorporates many novel disciplines. In the essence, it is related to four application areas, where “Photonics” is used to connote applied research and development. These are:
- Optical information and communication
- Industrial manufacturing
- Illumination and displays
- Biophotonics in the domain of Life Science
Career
Graduates of the Photonics Master course are particularly well educated for a leading position in research and development, where good theoretical knowledge of physics and optics are combined with practical experience:
- Development and application of lasers and laser systems
- Development of fibre-optic components and systems
- Design and development of optical instruments
- Novel techniques for illumination and displays
- Design and application of medical systems for diagnosis and therapy
