This course is a mix of optical technology and electronics. The study deals with photons, the
elementary particles of light, and helps you master the techniques of emission, detection,
transmission and modulation of light. Those who have an immense interest in science and are
curious to know more about it are best suited for this course. A photonist can work as an
engineer, scientist, researcher and professional officer in many companies and government
offices. The work will also give you an opportunity to design photonic equipments. Due to
lack of specialists in this field, photonics specialists are in great demand globally.
