In view of great advances in electro-optical technologies in the past decades, National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) established the Institute of Electro-Optical (E-O) Science and Engineering (EOSE) M.S. program in 2002, followed by the Ph.D. program in 2004. The Department of Electro-Optical Engineering was established in 2007. In 2011, the Department of Electro-Optical Engineering and the Institute of Electro-Optical Science and Engineering merged to become the Department of Photonics (DPs). The Department integrates photonics resources and faculties within NCKU to provide research and intellectual resources to address problems facing the photonics industries in Taiwan, especially in the Tainan Science-based Industrial Park. Graduates of our department will be awarded Bachelor of Engineering (BS Degree), Master of Engineering (MS Degree), and Doctor of Engineering degrees (Ph.D. Degree).
