Materials and Components - Study line
Photonics: Materials and Components
This technological specialisation line is aimed at students with interrests in constructing and characterizing photonic materials and components. The program provides access to the world-class cleanroom facilities at DTU Nanolab, where students are allowed to process components. The courses suggested in this focus area cover the understanding of the physics, materials, process technologies and experience in required lab. skills in order to construct and characterize micro and nanophotonic materials and components. Examples include materials and components for all parts of optical communication systems, for illumination, lighting, laser and other quantum-photonic systems, and for optical sensors and biooptical applications.
