Photonics Definition and 63 Threads

Hi, I am an undergraduate student in computer science and is currently studying physics, specifically photonics. I was just wondering if somebody here could advice me some good links about this subject since the course litterature is not instructional at all and very difficult to understand...

Advice needed - Photonics - Telecoms or High power lasers and systems ? Hi ! I recently concluded a masters in photonic comms with a distinction, and I'm currently contemplating : 1) Studying further (PhD) and if so which path with respect to Future of Photonics 2) Relocating (better...

I have to choose specialisation for my masters degree in applied physics next year. I want to work in the microelectronics industry so the specialisation called "Microelectroncs and Nanoelectronics" seems like a natural choice to study. However I want to know whether another specialisation...

Hey, I would like to enter grad school and complete my Masters and PhD. Eventually I would like to work for the R&D dept. of a company. Photonics was one of the choises that I had as I am interested in the new tech. that integrates photons in I.C.'s. Unfortunately I cannot find a lot of...

Hi, I got a Bachelors degree at Imperial College London (one of the top science universities in the UK) last year and I am doing a Masters degree in Optics and Photonics at the same university at the moment. Next year I would like to do a PhD but I think four years of England is probably...

Hey, cud nebody giv me a link or sumthin of this sort on the basic concepts of photonics n its applications? please see that its pretty simple coz i wudnt be able to understand if it isn't so:redface: . thank you.

Hello all. I am finishing up my first year of a CE/EE major. I want to go into IC design; primarily for CPU's. I was wondering what you guys think that CPU's will use photonics extensively within the next 8-10 years. If the average CPU is photonic based within the next ten years, shouldn't...

It's a special 5 year program that's one of a kind in Canada only offered at MacMaster University. I only know that it revolves around the concept of medical technology development but I wasn't sure in detail what this field was. It sounds really good but from the look of the course load, it...

Hi, I'm new to this site and (forgive my lazy ass) too impatient to browse this expanse of forums to answer the following question myself: in which category should I post questions about photonics? It's a bit hard to see for myself, as my question involve totally different things...

I have a pretty good idea on the basics of optics and photonics but I am hoping that someone here has some indepth knowledge about the particulars of these fields. What is the core of these fields? Meaning, if you had to descibe the optics field in one paragraph, same with photonics, what...

Is there anyone here who is into this field? What type of undergraduate degree did you get? I'm doing Electrical engineering with a computer science minor. Is this a good background for someone who would like to go into photonics? I'd love to go into the field of quantum computing...

I only found "photoelectric" as his important contribution in optic anybody know what else related to photonics? Thx...

Hey, does anybody know any course notes for Optics and Photonics from Universities (or anywhere) that I can download and view? I'm really laggin behind in my class and I need to do some catching up. But my textbook isn't helping me much, there are no course notes. Can somebody please help...
