The Institute of Photonics and Information Technology in Jeonbuk National University was founded in 1998 in order to achieve the highest quality of professional education and research in the areas of Natural Sciences, Engineering and Life Sciences.
For the improvement of the said institution, in 1999, the elementary physics course has refurbished through the construction of the Multimedia Lecture Facility that conducts both experiment and lecture, and even the corresponding lecture materials. The Korea Research Foundation, has been funding this institution since 2002. It serves as an Enfocused Research Center in studying the optical and electronic properties of quantum structures.
The institute, as a research contributor, has achieved its own leading-edge facilities through developing "Scanning Tunneling Microscopy" and "Femto-second Laser Spectroscopy" on its own capacity. In the near future, the institute will magnify the synergic effect of Nanoscale and Femtosecond sciences through the collaboration of all the participating scientists in this field.
