Development and Features of the Department of Photonics

●Key Development Directions: The department currently has three main development directions
(1) Photonic Devices and Materials: Cultivating professional capabilities in semiconductor-related industries such as semiconductor photonic devices, flat panel displays, organic light-emitting devices,
and LCD manufacturing processes.
(2) Photonic Precision Measurement: Aims to cultivate students' ability to use and apply measurement systems, focusing primarily on the concept of opto-mechatronic integration, combining optical systems, electronic and computer peripheral hardware, computer software, and optical information processing capabilities into a real-time measurement system. Ultimately enabling graduates to apply this knowledge in the semiconductor, precision machinery, and photonics industries as system or equipment engineers.
(3) Optical Communications and AI: Focuses on familiarity with the various photonic technologies and signal processing used in optical communications, along with the ability to use computer-aided design for chips and digital circuits. This also combines optoelectronic communications with artificial intelligence applications, with development directions including intelligent sensing and AI optical communication systems, cultivating professional talent with innovative and integrative capabilities.

●Development Features:
1. Strengthening the teaching of photonic systems and photonic devices in line with industry needs.
2. Emphasizing practical and applied internship planning and instruction to achieve teaching objectives.
3. Strengthening capstone projects to achieve the integration and application of professional knowledge and technology.
