Photonics
Optical, quantum, and nanoscale technologies are investigated within the Photonics track.
These booming fields are expected to lead to revolutions not only in communication systems, which need to sustain the huge (and ever-growing) amount of data sent and received every day all around the globe, but also other digital application scenarios such as quantum computing, medical sensing, renewable energy production.
This track is closely linked with the “Quantum Information” one, which can be found here.
How does the study plan work
A list of the courses available in the “Photonics” track for the 2022-2023 academic year is reported below.
Two courses are mandatory: Photonic Technologies (that includes Fiber Optics and Photonic Devices) and Molecular Photonics. The other courses can be freely chosen while keeping to some basic rules: the student will have to pick at least 6 courses from the ICT subjects and 2 courses among related subjects.
Furthermore, a soft skill course must be selected, and students must pass the B2 English exam.
It is further advised to choose about 30 ECTS credits per semester to keep your workload balanced.
Our core subjects:
- Electromagnetism;
- Transmission & Signals;
- Networks
Our related subjects:
- Physics & Electronics;
- Computer science & Robotics;
- Math;
- Biomedical;
- Soft skills
Mandatory Courses
The Photonic Technologies course is mandatory.
It is composed of 2 parts: Fiber Optics and Photonic Devices.
Furthermore the Molecular Photonics course must also be taken.
ICT Subjects
Select 6 courses from the following list
Related Subjects
