The College of Photonics was established at Tainan campus of the National Chiao Tung Unviersity in 2009. This is the very first college of photonics in Taiwan. The college was established based on the solid foundation of outstanding research in the area of photonics, semiconductors and information technology in conjunction with the strong demand of research and development of the high-tech industry in Southern Taiwan Science Park (STSP), as well as the education of engineers and scientists needed for these industries. There are several research institutes in the college. These include Institute of Photonic Systems, Institute of Lighting and Energy Photonics, Institute of Imaging and Biomedical Photonics,Interdisciplinary Photonic Technology Research Center, and Biomedical Engineering Research Center.
Optoelectronic industry has been the fastest growing sector among high-technology industries in Taiwan during the last decade. According to a recent report by the Photonics Industry & Technology Development Association (PIDA), the output value of Taiwan optoelectronic industries has reached over two thousand billion NT dollars in 2007 (while the output value of semiconductor industries is estimated to be one thousand and five hundred billion NT dollars). In other words, optoelectronic industry has become the largest high-technology industry in Taiwan. It is estimated that optoelectronic industry can still maintain 17% annual growth rate and its output value will reach five thousand billion NT dollars in 2011. The achievement is a result of the government’s policies on high education and high technology industry.
