Career in Optics and Photonics
Embedded Files
Photonics opens a world of unknown and far-reaching possibilities limited only by a lack of imagination.
Einstein once said, "For the rest of my life I want to reflect on what light is." The field of optics and photonics offers a wealth of fascinating study opportunities and diverse career paths for those interested in science and engineering. The 21st century is the "Age of Light," with optics and photonics emerging as dominant technologies, often enabled by electronics. From basic research to applied engineering and manufacturing, nearly every field is or will be influenced by optics and photonics.
Getting started with Optics and Photonics
