About Us
The Department came into existence as Faculty of Applied Physics in 1952 and was renamed as Department of Applied Physics in 1979. We offer two M. Tech. programmes namely, Laser & Electro-Optics and Sensors Technology. Also, we offer M.Sc. in Applied Physics (Photonics) and M.Sc. (Tech.) in Photonics. We have a very strong Ph.D. programme in Photonics, Lasers, Sensors, Advanced Functional Materials for Sensors, Photonics, and interdisciplinary applications in fields of healthcare, defense, and communication. We aim to train students for their career in academia as well as industry in the frontier areas of Science & Technology. All our Masters and Ph.D. Programmes are a balance of fundamental science and advanced technology helping them to pursue career opportunities in Academia, Research & Industry.
