Course Objectives: | The goal of this course is to introduce students to the fundamentals of photonics, and provide them with the necessary foundation and tools to understand optical systems. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; I. Understand optical elements and image formation II. Model transmission of light in free space, through optical components, and through waveguides III. Understand interaction of light with matter and light with light IV. Distinguish the different theories of light and use the appropriate theory to formulate and solve optical problems V. Have the necessary background and tools for advanced optics courses |
