The School of Physics and Optoelectronic Engineering originated from the Department of Mathematics and Physics established in Xiangtan University on 1976, and began to recruit and train the first batch of undergraduate students majoring in physics on 1977. 198 1, the physics department was established separately. In 2002, the department was abolished and the College of Materials and Optoelectronic Physics was established. On September 20 14, it was renamed School of Physics and Optoelectronic Engineering. After more than 30 years of construction and development, it has become one of the departments with complete discipline platform, strong faculty, strong scientific research momentum and remarkable achievements in personnel training. The college now has four departments: Physics Department, Microelectronics Science and Engineering Department, Measurement and Control Technology and Instrument Department, and Optoelectronic Information Science and Technology Department. The "Physics Shaofeng Class" is a top-notch talent training program. There are three teaching and experiment centers: university physics teaching center, basic physics experiment teaching center and professional experiment teaching center. Among them, physics major is the key major in the Twelfth Five-Year Plan of Hunan Province, and physics and microelectronics science and engineering are the characteristic majors in Hunan Province.
