College Info:

International School of Photonics (ISP) came in to existence in 1995 by restructuring and delinking the laserDSC_5470 laboratories along with the faculty members of the laser group from the Department of Physics at Cochin University of Science and Technology. Manpower development and establishment of research activities in photonics and related fields are the major objectives of ISP. The M.Tech. Programme in Opto Electronics and Laser Technology, which was started in 1991 in the Department of Physics, was also transferred to International School of Photonics in 1995. In 2001, an M.Phil. Programme in Photonics was started with an objective to train teachers in the area of Photonics.

Course Info:

The School is supported by Department of Science and Technology (Govt. of India) under the DST-FIST Programme and has one of the best laser laboratories in the country. In 2002, University Grants Commission(UGC), Govt. of India, identified it as a Centre of Excellence in Lasers and Optoelectronics Sciences and a Five Year Integrated M.Sc. Programme in Photonics was started. Our research areas span from fundamental to applied fields in photonics and related areas. We have collaborative research activities with various institutions in India and abroad. Currently, there are MoU with University of Gothenburg, Sweden and ENSSAT, University of Rennes, France, for collaborative research and student exchange. One of the major collaboration was with the Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands which was supported under the MHO program offered by the Dutch government to ISP. The total project outlay during the first phase was about NLG 2 million for the period of four years.
