Introduction to Photonics
Prof. Balaji Srinivasan · IIT Madras
About
Introductory course in photonics leading to more advanced courses such as Lasers, Optical Communications, Optical Sensors and Photonics Integrated Circuits. The learning objectives are: (1) Learn the fundamental principles of photonics and light-matter interactions, (2) Develop the ability to formulate problems related to photonic structures/processes and analyze them, and (3) Understand processes that help to manipulate the fundamental properties of light.
INTENDED AUDIENCE : Third or Final year BE/BTech, First year ME/MTech/MS/PhD
Prerequisites: Basic knowledge in Electromagnetics is preferred
