Science Degree Program in China - Optics

1. Introduction

Optics is an important branch of physics. It is also a subject related to optical engineering technology. From the narrow sense, optics is the science about light and vision; generalized optics is the science to study from the generation, transmission, reception and display, focuses on the range of electromagnetic radiation from the microwave, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet rays until the X-ray and gamma ray and intercalation between the material, focusing on the infrared to the ultraviolet band. Light is an electromagnetic wave, with wave-particle duality, the particles of light can be described through quantum mechanics.

2. Training Objectives

Students are required to have solid physical and mathematical basis, understand the status and the development trend of the subject, and with a better professional theory and professional technology. Have the ability to use computer and advanced instrument and equipment to conduct scientific research in the field of optics, with not only rigorous and realistic spirit, but also the spirit of pioneering and enterprising. Graduates can be competent for teaching, research and high technology development at higher education and research units.
