Fundamentals of Photonics, PHYS 5320

PHYS 5320 Fundamentals of Photonics



Phys 532/822 is intended to explain how lasers work and to describe some of the optical techniques used with laser beams. This material is important for many disciplines, and we may have students from Physics, Engineering, Chemistry, Astronomy, or other departments, at both the graduate and undergraduate level. It will help for everyone to be aware of the range of backgrounds present, and to ask questions about unfamiliar material when necessary.

The division between 532 and 822 is also meant to help handle the variation in background preparation. Physics graduate students should enroll in 822, and other students should enroll in 532. Exceptions to this policy should be cleared with me. Students in 822 will be graded on a separate curve and will also be given some additional homework problems that rely on physical and mathematical topics outside of those covered in class.
