The science and technology of lasers, including their creation, use, and interactions with matter, are examined in a research-heavy Ph.D. program in laser physics. The curriculum, which usually lasts 3-5 years, blends theoretical research with hands-on experimental in fields like laser materials, nonlinear optics, quantum electronics, and laser optics. Students study sophisticated laser technologies such as fiber optics, ultrafast lasers, and spectroscopy, as well as fundamentals of light-matter interaction and laser systems. M. Sc( physics) or a similar discipline and a compelling research proposal are prerequisites for admission. Graduates are prepared for jobs in industry, academia, or high-tech research in areas such as materials science, medical devices, and telecommunications.
