Course content
The course will provide students with a thorough understanding of the physical principles and effects that form the basis for photonic components and systems. The course will also provide an overview of practical photonic components, as well as provide an introduction to the applications of these in optical sensor and communication systems. The following topics are covered: photon optics, photon-atom interaction, laser amplifiers, resonator optics, lasers, semiconductor optics, semiconductor sources and detectors, fiber optics, and optical communication.
