The Department of Atomic and Molecular Physics at Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Karnataka is a center for teaching and research on the frontiers of light-matter interactions, ultrafast phenomena in atoms and molecules, nanoscience and technology, condensed matter physics and quantum electronics.
Initiated in 1997, the Centre for Laser Spectroscopy (CLS) for biomedical applications started off as a hub for advanced research and has progressed at a quick pace over the past couple of years. In its aim to explore, initiate and pursue research in atomic and molecular physics and interdisciplinary subjects, it grew into a Centre for Atomic and Molecular physics (CAMP) and now, is the Department of Atomic and Molecular Physics (DAMP) under the wing of Manipal Institute of Technology (MIT).
The department hosts symposiums on latest advances in photonics, nanoscience and biophysics annually, where researchers from far and wide pool together to share insights on a wide range of their research interests. In addition to this it maintains steady collaborations with #1 national research institutions such as the Raman Research Institute (RRI), Tata Institute of fundamental research (TIFR), Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology (RRCAT), IITM, IISc Bangalore, etc.. With its strong infrastructure, good student-teacher ratio and high-end labs, research and teaching moves along symbiotically.
The Vision is to become a centre of excellence with focus on fundamental and applied research in contemporary and thrust areas of atomic and molecular physics.

Why HUE NEW?
It began as a department activity and student initiative to disseminate the knowledge of optics to the community. It gains its roots from Planck’s relation E= hν, where here h = hue, meaning color and ν = new. In other words, we present New Colors. Our moto, also emerging from the relation, is thus to ‘Energise and Radiate’.
