Applied Physics Department

Goal :
To Establish the department as a Centre of Excellence in the area of optoelectronics and develop CENTER FOR PHOTONICS.

Mission

To enhance and expand activities in the area of optoelectronics by developing appropriate theoretical and experimental facilities and creating trained motivated manpower to undertake challenges in Modern Communication and Information Processing Technology.

Ongoing R&D Activities :The department is nationally recognized as a center for Research in Nanotechnology. Several Research Projects are in Progress in Semiconductor Nanooptics funded by DAE, DST, UGC and CSIR.

About Department :

The department of Applied Physics was established in 1956 in S.G.S. Institute of Technology and Science, Indore, to teach both theoretical and experimental Physics to all the students of various engineering undergraduate courses. Subsequently, it was acutely felt that a Postgraduate course with adequate engineering course contents could provide potentiality in the job market in various engineering and technological organization. To meet this demand, in 1969, the department introduced the course of M.Sc. in applied physics. The department also conducted research work in various areas of physics and applied physics under the ablest leadership of Late Professor M. R. Bhidey. At present, the department has mobilised its maximum research activities in the areas of Laser Physics, Optical Electronics, Fiber Optics and Nonlinear Optics. Several research projects funded by national funding agencies such as AICTE, DST, CSIR, DAE and UGC are being conducted successfully by the faculty members in the above front line areas.

Recently, Lasers and optical electronics have opened up many new opportunities and frontiers of technology. They have tremendous scope of application in industry, medicine, defence, meteorology, optical communication and information processing. Modern communication systems are at the threshold of transformation to fiber optic based optical communication systems. Laser and optical electronics based newer and newer technologies and products are coming up at a mind bogling speed ! This technological reality has created the demand of large manpower well trained in laser and optical electronics. Most appropriately, during the VIII five-year plan, Science Advisory Council to the Prime Minister (SAC-PM) approved a plan to strengthen teaching and R&D activities in the field of Laser science & technology and their applications. A National Laser Programme was evolved with the objective of manpower training in the field of laser science and technology, development of laser technology in the country and promotion of laser application in basic research, industry and medicine. Under this programme, the Department of Applied Physics, SGSITS has been identified to run M.Tech programme in optoelectronics with specialisation in optical communication. Since its inception in the year 1995, the M. Tech programme is being run in the department with active supports from Centre for Advanced Technology, Indore. Senior Physicist and technologists of CAT are taking theory class and supervising M.Sc. & M.Tech Project work. Needless to say, the department has now adequate resource to take up any new training and research activities in the field of laser science, optical electronics and related areas. Two research scholars have been working in the field of experimental investigations of (i) Nonlinear Optical Effects and (ii) Low Coherence Optical Tomography for their Ph.D. degrees.

Strength of the Department :

Almost 75% of the faculty members are very young, energetic and motivated. Their research efforts go hand in hand with that of the committed full time research scholars. A large number of the Ph. D. theses produced in the last 5-6 years manifest the quantum of research of International Standard.

The M. Tech(Optoelectronics) Program being one of the youngest in the Institute accredited by NBA as the BEST(for 5 years!
Funds for R&D work to the tune of Rs. 1.50 Crore provided by DAE, DST, CSIR, AICTE,UGC.
Developed R&D Experimental Labs; Collaborative Programmes with CAT, BARC,DAVV, BIT, etc.
International Collaboration with Humboldt University, Berlin in semiconductor Nanotechnology.
Two Senior Faculty Members are Invited Speakers in Most of the Conferences on Nanotechnology, in India.
