Course Goal / Objective
Define and use basic radiometric units. Define the following properties of light: Speed, Frequency, Wavelength, Energy. Describe the dual nature of light, asa continuous wave and a discrete particle (photon), and give examples of light exhibiting both natures. Describe the mechanismsthat affect light propagating in a medium and its transmission.
Course Content
quantum theory of light, matter and its interaction, classical and quantum noise, lasers and laser dynamics, continuous wave and short pulse generation, light modulation; examples from integrated optics and semiconductor optoelectronics and nonlinear optics.
