Optics Coordination
The Optics Coordination is an official organization within the National Institute of Astrophysics, Optics and Electronics. It manages, organizes, directs and supports the scientific and technological activities of researchers, technicians and students of the Optics Department.
The Optics Department was created in 1972, at the same time the INAOE was founded. Both of its Postgraduates programs, Masters and Science Doctorate are the INAOE’s oldest programs and are considered high level postgraduate studies according to the National Register of Postgraduates Programs.
Currently, Ph.D. Sergio Vázquez y Montiel is in charge of this Coordination that has a staff of 34 researchers, all of whom have well defined technological and scientific lines of research and a clear academic commitment to students of the Optics Department’s postgraduates.
98% of our researchers belong to the National Researcher’s System (SNI), which indicates the international level and quality of our research and shows our graduate’s excellent academic education.
The Coordination’s objectives are:
- Carry out basic, avant-garde research in our specialty fields.
- Carry out technological research that aims to fulfill society’s needs.
- Train human resources that are capable of solving scientific and technological problems of high relevance in the Optics field.
The Optics Department develops activities in these main areas:
- Optics Instrumentation
- Image Processing
- Quantum Optics and Statistics
- Medical Optics
- Biophotonics
- Diffraction and Image Science
