I will be graduating with a BA in physics and BS in Electrical Engineering in May. I want an optics PhD. I attended an info session on Sandia National Labs at my university, and the recruiters made me think about a PhD program through a national lab. If someone has experience with the National...

I have a 1550nm diode laser. I have a function generator sending a triangular function into the fast input of the laser; however, if I am within the bandwidth of the laser (under 10kHz), my output power of the laser mimics my fast input signal, so I get a triangular function on my O-scope with...

I have a very strong interest in optics with biomedical applications, and I have been noticing this field growing over the last few years; however, the number of programs seem very limited. The big programs are University of Central Florida, University of Rochester, and University of Arizona. I...

I was wondering if anyone could suggest a good quantum optics book. I know Quantum at the liboff text level. I am not sure if the wolf and born texts are too advanced for me, since I do not have the book, and it has a reputation for intense mathematical rigor. I appreciate the recommendations.

I am an Undergraduate in Electrical Engineering. I have been in an internal struggle about a PhD; I am particularly interested in Applied physics programs since traditional physics programs bore me, and my interests include medicine. I have taken upperlevel physics in mechanics, E&M 1,intro...
