UNM Optical Science and Engineering Program Established in the mid 1980's, the Optics Program at UNM has acquired a national and international reputation.
More than 60 students have graduated and found employment in industry, academia, and research laboratories. Pioneering research has originated from this program in areas ranging from the quantum theory of lasers to ultrashort pulse physics to optoelectronic devices, to cite only a few examples. The research facilities are located in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, in the Department of Ele
