  • Course

    Methodology of Conducting Scientific Research in Optical Engineering

    This course is a one-credit course for graduate students majoring in optical engineering in Tianjin University. The course will cover the key skills and non-technical knowledge needed for graduate students, including reading papers, writing, presenting, collaboration, ethics, and so on. The course is designed to practically help students boost their capability to conduct scientific research.

  • The undergraduate-level course, Fundamentals of Optoelectronics (course number: 2020634)

    This course is a three-credit course for undergraduate students majoring in optical engineering in Tianjin University. The course will cover the key concepts and devices in optoelectronics, with particular emphasis on the principles of the optical resonators, optical amplifiers, lasers, photo-detectors, and modulators. By learning this course, the students would be able to understand the nature of light and photons, how they interact with matter, and how the light-matter interactions lead to the indispensable devices in the field of modern optoelectronics. The course is offered entirely in English. See the course map here.
