This lecture covers both - the fundamentals of "Optics" such as e.g. "ray optics", "coherence", the "Planck law", the "reciprocity theorem" or the "Einstein relations" but also the fundamentals of "Photonics" on the generation (the laser), processing, transmission and detection of photons.
Learning objective
A sound base for work in the field of optics and photonics will be conveyed. Key principles of optics will the thaught. The lecture passes on the essentials for work with free-space optics or waveguide optics. In addition important optical devices will be discussed. Among them are e.g. optical filters, copulers (MMI-couplers,...), Holograms,... .
