Course Objectives
The objective of the two semester course-set is to provide practical background on photonics. It essentially aims to facilitate 4th year physics students to acquire working knowledge in various fields of photonics with real-life examples. In the second part of this course-set the particular topic of interest is light propagation in waveguides and its detection with an emphasis on noise.
Course Content
The beam propapation method, coupled mode theory and application, coupling between optical sources and waveguides, noise and dedection, optical detectors, optical radiation and amplification, fiber-optic sensors.
