Note: The following provides a suggested course description,
objectives, and an outline. These may be modified pending discussion with
the Faculty Chairs, proposing faculty, and other curriculum
reviewers.
Course Description: Integrated optics is
concerned with the design and fabrication of optical components and
systems on a single substrate using processing techniques similar to those
used in the manufacture of integrated electronic circuits. This course
covers the basic concepts used in the design and fabrication
of integrated optical devices and representative applications of
such devices and systems. It also provides an introduction
to how generation and control of optical radiation can be enahnced by
utilizing quantum effects that arise at the scale of nanometer-sized
components.
