The employment prospect of optics (science) is very good. Optics is a discipline with a long history.

The major of optics requires a solid foundation in physics and mathematics, a certain understanding of the present situation and development trend of this discipline, and a good professional theory and technology. You should be proficient in a foreign language and be able to read foreign language materials of your major.

Have a certain ability to independently engage in scientific research in a certain field of optics by using computers and advanced instruments and equipment, with a rigorous and realistic scientific attitude and pioneering spirit.

Discipline development:

Optics in a narrow sense is a science about light and vision. In the early days, the word optics was only used for things related to eyes and vision.

People often talk about optics in a broad sense, which is a science to study the generation, propagation, reception and display of electromagnetic radiation and its interaction with matter in a wide wavelength range from microwave, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet to X-ray. Optics is an important part of physics and a subject closely related to other applied technologies.
