Program Overview

This optical engineering course covers the fundamental concepts of modern optical and photonic engineering. It is based at the Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC), which specialises in lasers, optical fibres, optical waveguides, and their applications in real world engineering. We focus on physical optics in settings such as communications, computing and sensors.

You'll work in photonics with access to professional level equipment, software, and fabrication methodologies. This involves studying the principles of lasers, optical technology and the practical aspects of their design, fabrication, and applications. The opportunity to specialise in different areas of optoelectronics will also be available.

Our range of optional modules covers topics such as:

  • optical communications
  • silicon photonics
  • optical sensors
  • advanced laser techniques
  • If you wish to follow a particular theme, you may choose modules from other subject areas to match your interests, such as physics or computer science.

You'll also perform an experimental or theoretical research project, making use of the extensive facilities in our research laboratories. This includes the Mountbatten Clean Room complex.
