Physics, Plan F - Electro-Optics Emphasis, B.S.

Plans E, F, and G

Students who plan to seek employment at the B.S. level are advised to take an emphasis in a particular subject by selecting specific emphasis courses from the physics major (see plan A ). Students must fulfill all general and departmental requirements in addition to those required by the emphasis, and the physics research for a chosen emphasis (PHYS 4683 ) should be carried out in the area of the emphasis. At the completion of the emphasis, the student will be given a certificate of completion.

Requirement

This is an ideal preparation for students desiring to work in modern high-tech industry or national laboratories. Students develop a solid understanding of electronics, quantum optics and lasers. This emphasis is also an excellent alternative to obtaining an engineering degree if one wishes to pursue engineering-type work in industry. In this plan, students must follow the guidelines of Plan A, but must also include the following courses as part of the major:

• PHYS 3013 - Basic Electronics 3 Credit Hours
• PHYS 3413 - Optics 3 Credit Hours
• PHYS 3424 - Advanced Optics 4 Credit Hours
• PHYS 4333 - Quantum Mechanics 3 Credit Hours
• PHYS 4683 - Physics Research 1.0 - 3.0 Credit Hours
