| Kurzbeschreibung | The path of an analog signal in the transmitter to the digital world in a communication link and back to the analog world at the receiver is discussed. The lecture covers the fundamentals of all important optical and optoelectronic components in a fiber communication system. This includes the transmitter, the fiber channel and the receiver with the electronic digital signal processing elements. | ||||
| Lernziel | An in-depth understanding on how information is transmitted from source to destination. Also the mathematical framework to describe the important elements will be passed on. Students attending the lecture will further get engaged in critical discussion on societal, economical and environmental aspects related to the on-going exponential growth in the field of communications. | ||||

| 227-0655-00L | Nonlinear Optics | 6 KP | 2V + 2U | J. Leuthold | |
| Kurzbeschreibung | Nonlinear Optics deals with the interaction of light with material, the response of material to light and the mathematical framework to describe the phenomena. As an example we will cover fundamental phenomena such as the refractive index, the electro-optic effect, second harmonic generation, four-wave mixing or soliton propagation and others. | ||||
| Lernziel | The important nonlinear optical phenomena are understood and can be classified. The effects can be described mathematical by means of the susceptibility. | ||||

| 227-0955-00L | Seminar in Electromagnetics, Photonics and Terahertz  | 3 KP | 2S | J. Leuthold | |
| Kurzbeschreibung | Selected topics of the current research activities at the IEF and closely related institutions are discussed. | ||||
| Lernziel | Have an overview on the research activities of the IEF institute. | ||||
| 227-1101-00L | How to Write Scientific Texts in Engineering Sciences Strongly recommended prerequisite for Semester Projects and Master Theses at D-ITET (MSc BME, MSc EEIT, MSc EST). | 0 KP | J. Leuthold | ||
| Kurzbeschreibung | The 4 hour lecture covers the basics of writing & presenting a scientific text. The focus will be on the structure and elements of a scientific text and not on the language. Citation rules, good practice of scientific writing and an overview on software tools will be part of the training. The lecture will be thought on two afternoons. Some exercises will be built into the lecture. | ||||
| Lernziel | Knowledge on structure and content of a scientific text. The course further is arranged to stimulate a discussion on how to properly write a legible scientific text versus writing an interesting novel. We will further discuss the practice of properly citing and critically reflect on recent plagiarism allegations. | ||||
| Inhalt | * Topic 1: Structure of a Scientific Text (The Title, the author list, the abstract, State-of-the Art, the "in this paper" paragraph, the scientific part, the summary, Equations, Figures). * Topic 2: Power Point Presentations. * Topic 3: Citation Rules and Citation Software. * Topic 4: Guidelines for Research Integrity. | ||||

| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | Students should already have a Bachelor degree and plan to do either a semester project or a master thesis in the immediate future. | ||||
| 401-5870-00L | Seminar in Electromagnetics for CSE | 4 KP | 2S | J. Leuthold | |
| Kurzbeschreibung | Various topics of electromagnetics, including electromagnetic theory, computational electromagnetics, electromagnetic wave propagation, applications from statics to optics. Traditional problems such as antennas, electromagnetic scattering, waveguides, resonators, etc. as well as modern topics such as photonic crystals, metamaterials, plasmonics, etc. are considered. | ||||
| Lernziel | Knowledge of the fundamentals of electromagnetic theory, development and application of numerical methods for solving Maxwell equations, analysis and optimal design of electromagnetic structures | ||||
| 851-0101-87L | World Views in the Digital Age  Number of participants limited to 36. | 3 KP | 2S | J. Leuthold, C. aus der Au Heymann | |
| Kurzbeschreibung | World views guide our thoughts and our actions even though we may not be aware of it. By means of lectures, discussions and contributions of participants, we examine elements of world views regarding the underlying philosophical concepts and their relations to the sciences, philosophy and religion. | ||||
| Lernziel | Students shall obtain a basis for their own exploration of world views, with a focus on new technological developments. Prior knowledge of philosophical concepts and history is not required but are studied in the course. | ||||
