OSS 3014 [0.5 credit] Optical Waves, Waveguides, and Sensors
Analysis of guided-wave propagation and sensors. Topics include Maxwell’s time-dependent wave equations, dielectric waveguides (slab, planar, segmented, rib, strip), optical fibres (modes, dispersion relations, propagation in dispersive media, nonlinear fibres), beam propagation methods, free space beam propagation, waveguide devices, and study of sensors technology.
Includes: Experiential Learning Activity
