Course content
Electromagnetic optics: light matter interaction, polarization density, vector/scalar, beam optics. Polarization optics: reflection and refraction, anisotropic media, liquid crystals. Introduction to photonic crystals. Optical waveguides: optical fibers, integrated optics. Control of light: electro-optics, acousto-optics, nonlinear optics. Photonic components. Applications in optical sensor and measurement technology.
Learning outcome
Knowledge: The candidate has - in depth understanding of fundamental optical effects such as waveguiding, electrooptics, acoustooptics and nonlinear optics, applied in photonic components and systems - detailed knowledge about concepts and formalism used in the field of photonics - in depth understanding of the design and analysis of photonic components and systems - in depth understanding of selected applications of photonics within sensor- and optical measurement technology - a thorough understanding of electromagnetic optics, polarization optics, optical principles and effects that form the basis for photonic systems - good knowledge about practical photonic components and systems, and an overview of applications of photonics in sensor systems. Skills: The candidate can - combine previously acquired knowledge and skills in mathematics, solid state physics, electromagnetism and optics with new theory to analyze and design practical photonic components and systems.
