<p>I got into this major at Davis since when I first filled out the application I must have been on shrooms, or something. What I meant to do was biological sciences. Anyways, I figure I might as well find out a little about this major I haphazardly got myself into.</p>
<p>It's a branch of EE. Topics include: </p>
<p>Nature of light, radiometry, laser basics, interferometry, holography, coherence, polarization, diffraction, fiber optics, Fourier optics.</p>
<p>It's actually pretty cool, I took a lab dealing with these things and it was one of the few labs I enjoyed.</p>
