Master Physics, Europhotonics track

The aim of this pathway is to give students the ability to develop activities in the sectors related to optics and photonics, optics, photonics and photonics; electromagnetics, telecommunications, image processing, communications, imaging in different environments and instrumentation. The main areas of application are in the medical, space, defence and industrial control sectors...

The Optics & Photonics (Europhotonics) program is part of the international Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree Europhotonics program.

• B2 Level in English, as all courses are in English.
• For the M1, students must have a "Bachelor" or "Licence" degree corresponding to at least 180 ECTS, in the fields of: Physics, Optics & Photonics, Electrical Engineer, Mechanical Engineering or Applied Physics.
• For M2, a solid background in physics and photonics in particular is expected. The majority of students come from M1 Fundamental Physics & Applications (in particular the Optics & Photonics (Europhotonics) pathway), from an M1 in Physics or from a 3rd year engineering school.

The course is supported by several research laboratories at AMU and at our partners from the Europhotonics consortium. Teaching is carried out by lecturers and researchers from these laboratories. This facilitates the links between training and research.

In addition, a special effort is made to ensure that our students are able to join companies at the end of their training. To this end, in addition to the course content, which does not omit industrial aspects, work placements and projects in industry are encouraged.

At the end of the course, students are expected to acquire the following skills:

• Tackle and solve autonomously a scientific problem in Optics & Photonics combining whatever theoretical / practical / experimental methods are needed.
• Develop a creative experimental / numerical / theoretical approach to integrate, imagine photonic systems and devices with unknown properties, or solve problems related to their identification / integration / application / production.
• Stand-alone use and/or development of appropriate computerised modelling of diverse optical and Photonics systems and gain working experience with standard computational tools used in industry.
• Use and/or development of programming tools for data processing, data science and artificial intelligence.
• Adapt Photonics integration into its environment and its constraints, in an iterative approach and in interaction with stakeholders.
• Write and present scientific, technical, and marketing documents (publication, specifications, patent)

Training through placements and projects is of great importance for the track. Therefore, personal .

In M1, tutored projects enable students to work in laboratories. In M2, 7 weeks of apprenticeship are spent in the laboratory during the first semester.

M1 also includes a 7-week research placement in a laboratory or industry, which can be extended to 2 months in the case of placements in companies or abroad.

The M2 master thesis, lasting 4 to 6 months, which is gratified when done in France, is carried out in a laboratory or company depending on the Research or Professional focus of the student.

The course is structured into UEs. Each UE must be validated independently.

Classical Erasmus mobility possible for AMU M2 students.

For EMJM Europhotonics students, the mobility is compulsory and organized within the Europhotonics Consortium (Germany, Spain, Finland, Lithuania).
