Photonics involves the use of light (photons) for sensing, imaging, and transmitting information.
University courses should cover the fundamentals of light propagation, laser technology, and optical fibre communications. Courses in this field would teach students about lasers, optical fibers, and photonic sensors, with applications in telecommunications, medicine, and manufacturing.
Students would learn about the applications of photonics in areas such as data transmission, medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and photovoltaic energy conversion. The curriculum would also cover the research and development of new photonic devices and materials.
