The Chair was created in summer 2002. One of its main goals is the organization of the educational process and preparation of specialists in optical information technologies. This discipline presents a quickly developing, new branch of science and engineering that deals with optical technologies of super-high-speed information transmission, processing and recording, the fast optical computers and artificial intelligence systems. Developments of such optical information - telecommunication technologies of the new generation are a priority for Russian science, engineering and technology.
A program which is unique for the Russian Federation for preparing specialists in optical information technology has been implemented within the framework of the discipline of Laser Techniques and Technologies.
The lecture courses on digital optical computing, optical technologies for artificial intelligence, holographic systems of the information recording and other relevant problems in optical information technology are supported by exclusive scientific, experimental work by the students. This practical work is organized on the basis of experimental internships in the research labs of Vavilov State Optical Institute.
The scientific adviser of the Chair for Optical Information Technology is an academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Prof. Yu.N. Denisyuk.
Among the scientific subdivisions is a laboratory for wave processes, with the goal of supervising under and post graduate students` work in the framework of the Young Scientist Association Optics - XXI century.
