ENEE 684 - Introduction to Photonics

[3]

This course covers the fundamentals of photonics and their applications. Subjects include crystal and polarization optics, Jones calculus and Stokes parameters, polarization mode dispersion, fiber-optics, planar waveguide optics, electro-optics, acousto-optics, second- and third-order non-linear susceptibilities, second harmonic generation, sum-frequency generation, parametric down-conversion and oscillation, self-focusing, self- and cross-phase modulation, optical solutions, four-wave mixing, Raman scattering, Brillouin scattering, phase conjugation, photo-refractive optics, photo detectors and noise characteristics.
