Course Title:
Applied Photonics
Course Description:
Retired August 31, 2005; replaced by ETE 4370 in the School of Professional and Continuing Studies. Educates engineers to the theory and application of key photonic devices used in engineering disciplines (electrical, mechanical, civil, and so forth). 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, in addition to storage, display, and other useful devices. Also treats source characteristics and properties, such as for lasers. Course work includes a student report on a key photonic application. Requires no previous optics background.
