SP characteristics
The students of the branch of study will have acquired comprehensive knowledge of physics as well as detailed specialist knowledge and skills and competences required for research and other scientific
activities within the field of optics and optoelectronics. The scope of their knowledge opens the way for their involvement in interdisciplinary research at the interface between physics, biology and
engineering. Students select one of two specializations in which they obtain deep expert knowledge:Quantum and nonlinear optics (properties of light fields in the framework of classical and quantum
optics, nonlinear optical phenomena), Optoelectronics and photonics (light-solid interaction, light detection, semiconductor technology for optoelectronic and photonic applications).
In both specializations the curriculum also includes practical training in state-of-the-art laboratories, ensuring that the graduates achieve the competences in the areas of experimental research, optical
spectroscopy, applied optics, optoelectronics and spintronics. Optional lectures cover recently established fields of research, such as opto-spintronics, metamaterial physics, terahertz spectroscopy.
The current progress in applications of optics in numerous research areas (physics, biology, chemistry, medicine) and in everyday life leads to an increase in the range of employment possibilities of the
graduates both in science and in non-academic areas. The graduates are fully qualified to continue with their studies in postgraduate programmes in the Czech Republic or abroad.

Graduate profile for the public:
Graduates have a sound theoretical and experimental knowledge of classical and quantum optics and optoelectronics. They have mastered the mathematical modelling of physical processes in optics and
optoelectronics. They can apply the knowledge and competences they have gained in research and scientific activities in optical disciplines as well as in a large number of fields where optics or optical
spectroscopy are used (biology, chemistry, medicine). Their education in physics combined with a mastery of computer programming, information technologies and organization of scientific team
collaboration enhances the chances of these graduates finding employment in research at universities and research institutes and in industry. Graduates are fully qualified to continue with their studies in
postgraduate programmes.
