Abstract | Classical and semi-classical introduction to Quantum Electronics. Mandatory for further elective courses in Quantum Electronics. The field of Quantum Electronics describes propagation of light and its interaction with matter. The emphasis is set on linear pulse and beam propagation in dispersive media, optical anisotropic materials, and waveguides and lasers. | ||||
Objective | Teach the fundamental building blocks in Quantum Electronics. | ||||
Content | Wave propagation in dispersive materials Linear pulse propagation Reflexion and transmission at an interface Interference and coherence Fourier optics Fundamentals of lasers Linear wave propagation in anisotropic materials Waveguides and integrated optics | ||||
