Course Title:
Applied Photonics
Course Description:
Educates engineers to the theory and application of key photonic devices used in engineering disciplines (electrical, mechanical, civil, and so on). Begins with an analysis of light interaction principles and develops a functional scheme to catalog photonic devices by their light (radiation) interaction. Presents the theories and key applications of photonic devices for all types of measurements and sensing; material processing that involves material characterizations as well as material ablation behaviors; and information processing that includes fiber-optic transmission-related devices as well as storage, display, and other useful devices. Source characteristics and properties, such as for lasers, are also treated. Course work includes a student report on a key photonic application. No previous optics background is required.
