Next generation of experts in the science of photonics are to be trained at UCL (University College London). Future scientists and engineers will ponder the challenges of photonic systems.
Photonics combines electronics with the control of photons to perform different functions. It includes the study of the generation, emission, transmission, modulation, signal processing, switching, amplification, detection and sensing of light. The real-world applications of photonics span everything from telecommunications to medicine and visual art to agriculture.
The soaring use of photonics systems in everyday use has become quite substantial including barcode scanners, laser eye surgery, holographic art, and mine laying and detection devices.
The new centre is a product of collaboration between UCL and the University of Cambridge. The new centre for doctoral training (CDT) in Photonic Systems Development is one of UCL’s nine doctoral training centres funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (ESPRC).
