Fundamentals of Nano and Quantum Photonics

Prof. Naresh Kumar Emani · IIT Hyderabad

Start with lecture 1 At NPTEL

About

The course objective is to familiarize students to the research frontiers in Nano and Quantum Optics. The course will discuss fundamental principles with emphasis on developing intuitive understanding and developing analytical techniques.

This course is primarily designed for post-graduate and PhD research scholars in Photonics. Senior undergraduate students pursuing ECE/EE/Physics or related programs will also benefit by exposure to this frontier area of research. Faculty interesting in expanding their knowledge base and/or prepare for research programs will also find it beneficial.

Prerequisites: Introduction to Semiconductor Devices (108106181 or equivalent), Introduction to Photonics (108106135), Elementary quantum mechanics.
