ECE 5340 - Photonics: Fundamentals and Devices Spring. 3 credits. Letter grades only.
Co-meets with ECE 4370 .
K. Mehta.
Introduction to optical waveguides and photonic devices. Review of optical wave propagation in uniform media and at interfaces. Gaussian beams and diffraction. Modes, dispersion, and fundamental relations/symmetries. Interferometers and resonators. Guided waves in optical fibers and planar dielectric systems. Perturbation theory, coupling of modes, adiabatic variation, and parallels to quantum phenomena. Electro-and acousto-optics. Survey of system applications, including photonic interconnects and quantum technologies. Numerical methods, and project design of planar optical components.
Outcome 1: Students will learn about optical wave propagation in structured media.
Outcome 2: Students gain an understanding of modes, modal coupling, and application in photonic devices.
Outcome 3: Students will learn about active electro-and acousto-optic devices and their applications.
Outcome 4: Students will analyze, simulate, and design planar photonic components.
