Course Objectives
In this course, basic principles about generation, transmission and detection of light will be studied with a special emphasis on the transmission part. This course is needed to understand
- the basic theories explaining the nature of light wave propagation,
- the relations of photonics to other disciplines
- fundamental applications of photonics
Course Content
A general review of ray optics, wave optics, beam optics, fourier optics and photon optics. Electromagnetic theory of optics and polarization; optical waveguides; fiber optics; optical resonators optical fiber sensors; theory, applications and system considerations. An overview of the other principal application of optics.
Course Learning Outcomes
Student, who passed the course satisfactorily will be able to
- explain and use the theories of light (ray optics, wave optics, electromagnetic optics in particular),
- understand the phenomenon of diffraction of light and its applications (diffraction gratings, Fourier optics etc.),
- design optical waveguides (slab waveguides and optical fibers),
- solve practical problems of light transmission, loss and dispersion mechanisms, in optical fibers,
- understand the basics of fiber optical sensors .
