This category covers topics such as lasers and laser technology, infrared physics and technology, microwave technology, quantum optics, lightwave technology, fiber optics, opto-electronics, and photonics, as well as photometry and luminescence. The optical module serves as a crucial component in optical fiber communication systems, operating at the physical layer, which is the lowest layer in the OSI model. Its primary function is to achieve optoelectronic conversion by converting electrical signals into optical signals and vice versa. An. Imperial College London has offered an advanced programme in optics for over 90 years and the current MSc Optics and Photonics and MRes Photonics draw on our experience as one of the largest centres for optics-based research and application in the UK. Physics contains 8 different concentrations you can study.
