Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Aims
At the end of this course, students will have the necessary background to understand the basics of photonic related research fields and subjects. Students will obtain the competence to independently derive basic quantities by application of appropriate mathematical models both on paper and in simple computer simulations.

Contents
Topics include: wave optics, beam optics, Fourier optics, electromagnetic optics, polarization optics, interferometers, lasers, nonlinear optics, spectral and noise properties of light, guided wave and fiber optics
Methods

Methods
Methods of the course include interactive lectures with regular student participation, exercise classes employing various learning methods (group work, individual homework assignments, mathematical examples, basic programming examples).

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

In-class examples (50%) and a final oral exam (50%). During the final oral exam, no materials are permitted.
