The study of the fundamental properties of light and harnessing them in practical applications such as high-tech manufacturing, high-power lasers, nuclear threat identification, solar power and other technologies critical to the health and safety of individuals worldwide.
Welcome to our forum for researchers and students passionate about Optics and Photonics! This is the place to learn, discuss, network, and promote the incredible potential of photonics.
The Photonics group at IIT Bombay consists of enthusiastic researchers exploring diverse fields such as active nano-photonics, plasmonics, valleytronics, ultrafast optics, quantum optics, and optical materials. Our student chapter is affiliated with two prestigious professional organisations: the OPTICA community and the IEEE Photonics Society. These international communities bring together scientists, engineers, technicians, educators, and business leaders committed to advancing the understanding and application of light. These societies offer numerous benefits, including student travel grants to international technical and leadership conferences, funding for travelling lecturers, and access to a wealth of networking resources and materials. Join us to develop your technical knowledge, gain leadership experience, and form lasting professional relationships in the vibrant field of photonics.
Ever since its inception in September 2019, the group has been actively hosting
Guest lectures.
'Ask me anything' sessions where Professors and young scientists interact with the community to share their research experiences.
Outreach activities to educate high school students and the public on Optics and Photonics.
LITE (Light for Innovation, Thought and Education) Talks and the LITE Workshops which bring together bright minds to learn, interact and up-skill.
LITE Tutorials featuring student speakers presenting their research .
