Institute of Photonics and Optical Science

The Institute of Photonics and Optical Science (IPOS) draws together research and teaching expertise across the Schools of Physics, Electrical and Information Engineering, Mathematics, Chemistry and the Electron Microscope Unit.

Our research spans all areas of optics and photonics, both fundamental and applied, including the activities of the ARC Centre of Excellence in Ultrahigh bandwidth Devices for Optical Systems (CUDOS) in the School of Physics, those of the Fibre Optics and Photonics Laboratory in the School of Electrical and Information Engineering, and astronomical instrumentation (Astrophotonics) programs of the Sydney Institute of Astronomy in the School of Physics.

In 2009 two exciting new postgraduate coursework programs will commence. The Masters in Photonics and Optical Science is a three semester program combining coursework with the opportunity to conduct original research. The Graduate Diploma in Photonics and Optical Science is a two semester program of coursework. They will complement our research-only PhD program.
