- Description/content
- Optical technologies are among the key technologies of the 21st century. From the electronic scanning cash register to the application of lasers in production, telecommunication, and medicine – optical devices have become an indispensable part of daily life.
The optical technologies comprise these applications and exploit the extraordinary properties of light for a large range of scientific and technical applications. This interdisciplinary field accelerates modern industrial trends and allows for the development of innovations in fields as diverse as mechanical and automobile engineering, micro- and optoelectronics, and lighting technology as well as pharmaceutical and medical device engineering, among others.
The Master's course aims to educate specialists and executive staff for the optical industry. The programme benefits from strong collaboration between scientific and engineering disciplines in Hannover. Through the Hannover Centre for Optical Technologies (HOT) and the Laser Zentrum Hannover (LZH), which is associated with Leibniz University Hannover, companies can be involved in ongoing research and education and each Master's student can connect to the optical industry at an early stage of their career. The collaboration of the Faculties for Mathematics and Physics and the Faculty for Mechanical Engineering bridges the gap between fundamental research and technical applications of optics.
Course foci:
• Optical Metrology
• Laser Technology
• Biophotonics
• Technical Optics and Automotive Lighting
• Optics in Production and Power Engineering
