Course Objectives

Electromagnetic Waves and Electro-optics will teach you fundamental concepts and tools that will be necessary for a better understanding of light interacts with non-isotropic materilas areas such as different types of crystals. At the end of this course you will have a better understanding of the following topics:

  • Light interaction with certain crystal geometries
  • Electro-optic effect
  • Non-linear interactions

The information you will learn in this course will form a basis upon which you will build up new blocks in the future. The topics above are broad and cannot be covered in a one semester course so we will focus on specific examples which will aid your understanding of the subject matter.

Course Learning Outcomes

Student, who passed the course satisfactorily will be able to:

  • learn how light intracts with non-isotropic media
  • learn how various properties of light can influence the response of the medium 
  • learn how light behaves in an electro-optic medium
  • learn how light behaves in the non-linear regime
