New lab course!  We have created a new, 1-credit photonics lab course offered in the spring term of each year. This is required for the certificate starting in the 2006-2007 academic year and will replace previously required lab courses. See course requirements for the changes.

Undergraduate research grants from the National Science Foundation are available for up to $500 per month on photonics related research.  Students who are interested should contact members of the participating faculty to find a research project that is right for them.  After contacting the faculty, arrangements for grant support can be made by contacting David Snoke at snoke@pitt.edu.
