Explore the technologies that harness the power of light, such as lasers and optical fibres. Learn how light behaves and interacts with materials, and discover the electronic devices that generate, detect and control it.
Join a community of experts in the Optoelectronics Research Centre, a world-leading institute for optics and photonics research. Develop critical technologies that are used in areas such as medicine, defence, manufacturing, communication networks, and renewable energy. We explore optical fibres, nanophotonic and metamaterials, circuits and sensors, and photonics systems in our cleanroom facility. Learn how to design and create optical components and materials. Prepare yourself for research and product development roles in the photonics sector.
