Photonic Materials and Device Platforms
This module introduces optical materials and their properties, and describes the basic waveguide platforms, including optical fibres and planar waveguides, that underpin photonic technologies. A sound understanding of these optical platforms, their key characteristics, and their fabrication methods is essential for understanding their role and application in technologies such as telecommunications, sensing, and lasers. -

OPTO6023 2025-26
Photonics Laboratory and Study Skills
The course is devoted to carrying out a series of experiments from the area of photonics and related technologies. The experiments have been selected to underpin and illustrate some fundamental concepts in laser and fibre science and offer an opportunity to develop the correct use of key experimental techniques. After the lab part of the course is completed, a conference will be held where the students will give presentations on one of the experiments carried out.
Note this is a course only for MSc students. -

PHYS3011 2029-30
Photons in Astrophysics
The main radiation mechanisms dominating astrophysical processes are discussed and examples are given of the situations in which they are most important. We show how the physical conditions, e.g. the temperature, density and magnetic field strength, can be determined from the emitted radiation in astrophysical situations, such as stars, galaxies and the nuclei of active galaxies. Detection techniques across the electromagnetic spectrum are investigated. The course is fundamental to our interpretation of astrophysical data and so is vital for all astronomers. However it is very much a physics course and so is also of use to students who are not taking astrophysics degrees. This aims to connect taught physics with the beginnings of astronomical research. The content requires a strong mathematical foundation. -
