Industrially important polymers are considered in terms of polymer design synthesis and properties. The course concerns the aspects of the solid-state physics of semiconductors which influence their optical properties. The physics of optical absorption, emission, reflection, modulation, and scattering of light is covered. The optical properties of reduced dimensionality structures such as quantum wells are contrasted with those of bulk semiconductors. Topics include loose abrasive grinding, pitch polishing, CNC ring tool generating, magnetorheological finishing.
Students make lenses, prisms, and colored filter glasses.
