Optics explores the nature of light: its creation, movement, and measurement. This interdisciplinary field draws from physics, electrical engineering, chemistry, and materials science. Optical technologies impact daily life through products like corrective lenses and high-speed data transmission. Pioneering discoveries such as lasers and holograms emerged from optical research, which continues to drive innovation today. Students pursuing optics degrees typically complete 130 credit hours.
Since its founding in 1929, the University of Rochester's Institute of Optics has pioneered optical education. As the nation's first academic optics program, it has awarded over half of all US optics degrees. Institute faculty authored three of the twelve most referenced physics textbooks.
