Employment direction of master of optics

Employment direction of master of optics

Optics is an important branch of physics. It is also a discipline related to optical engineering technology. So, what is the employment direction of the master of optics taxi?

Introduction to optics specialty

Optics is a first-class discipline, two disciplines under physics. Optics is a physical discipline that studies the behavior and properties of light (electromagnetic wave) and the interaction between light and matter. Traditional optics only studies visible light, while modern optics has expanded to study all-band electromagnetic waves. Light is electromagnetic wave, which is described by Maxwell equations in electrodynamics in physics. At the same time, light has wave-particle duality and needs to be expressed by quantum mechanics.

Optical employment prospect

In the early days, based on geometric optics and wave optics, people's visual ability was broadened, and an optical instrument industry with telescopes, microscopes, cameras, spectrometers and interferometers as typical products was established. These technologies and industries still play an important role today. In the middle of this century, the theory and technology of holography and optical information processing based on Fourier optics came into being. Especially in the early 1960s, with the appearance of laser, a light source with high brightness and high temporal and spatial coherence was realized, making photons not only a coherent carrier of information, but also an effective carrier of energy. With the rise of laser technology, cost and photoelectron technology, optical engineering has developed to be optics-oriented, and is related to information science, energy science and materials science.

Life science, space science, precision machinery and manufacturing, computer science and microelectronics technology are closely intertwined and interpenetrated disciplines. It includes laser technology, optical communication, optical storage and recording, optical information processing, photoelectric display, holographic and three-dimensional imaging film and integrated optics, optoelectronics and photonics technology, laser material processing and processing, low light level and infrared thermal imaging technology, photoelectric measurement, fiber optics, modern optics and photoelectric instruments and devices, optical remote sensing technology, integrated optical engineering technology and many other important emerging branches. These branches not only make a qualitative leap in optical engineering, but also promote the establishment of an unprecedented modern optical industry and optoelectronic industry with a rapidly expanding scale.

In recent years, in some important fields, the information carrier is expanding from electromagnetic wave band to optical wave band, which makes the main body of modern optical industry focus on photoelectric information industry such as optical information acquisition, transmission, processing, recording, storage, display and sensing. These industries generally have the technical characteristics of digitalization, integration and microstructure. While the traditional optical system can still play an important role through continuous intelligence and automation, the research of micro-optical system integrating sensing, processing and execution functions and the role of photons in information science will become an important development direction of optical engineering in the future.

In the Catalogue of Disciplines and Specialties for Granting Doctoral and Master's Degrees and Training Postgraduates, which was formulated and promulgated by the Discipline Evaluation Group of the State Council Academic Degrees Committee, optical engineering is one of the first-class disciplines of engineering, and there is no longer a two disciplines under optical engineering.
