Materials and Components - Study line

Photonics: Materials and Components

This technological specialization 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.

The following programme specific course is mandatory for this technological specialization line

10855 Advanced fabrication of micro- and nanostructures 10 point Autumn E2 (Mon 13-17, Thurs 8-12) and Autumn E5 (Wed 8-17)

 

Then, the student has to pick at least 25 ECTS amount the following programme specific courses list below:

22511 Biomedical optics 5 point Autumn E4A (Tues 13-17)
34032 Optical properties of solids 5 point Autumn E1B (Thurs 13-17)
34041 Waveguide optics 5 point Spring F4B (Fri 8-12)
34051 Nanophotonics 10 point Spring F1 (Mon 8-12, Thurs 13-17)
34052 Nonlinear optics 10 point Autumn E3 (Tues 8-12, Fri 13-17)
34153 Physical concepts in optical communication 5 point Spring F3A (Tues 8-12)
34539 Design, fabrication and characterization of optical planar waveguide components 5 point June

 

 Proposed study plans

Note: 34046 is available in January and should be completed as early as possible. 

The course 34043 is available in both spring and fall - In this case the third semester is suggested.

Students with advanced innovation competences may replace the course 42500/42501/42504 wtih one of the courses 425002/42503/42505 - see the Curriculum.
