Quantum Mechanics , H. Kroemer, Prentice Hall Profs. The course covers the application of Maxwell's equations to optical waves and media treated at an advanced and fundamental level. Topics include polarization, dispersion, goemetrical optics, interference, partial coherence, and diffraction. Physical Optics , Mickelson, Van Nostrand Reinold, 1992. This course builds up the concepts necessary to understand the guided wave optical systems of today and those proposed for the future.
Topics covered include semiconductor lasers, fiber optics, and integrated optics.
Guided Wave Optics , Mickelson, Van Nostrand Reinold, 1993. Opt Properties of Materials Prof. Moddel ECEN 5606 Advanced Optics Lab , The optics lab consists of 12 optics experiments which introduce the techniques and devices essential to modern optics. These include characterization of sources, photodetectors, and modulators, use of interferometers, spectrometers, and holograms, and experimentation with fiber optics and Fourier optics. Optical Radiation Detectors , Derineck and Crowe, Wiley and Sons. This course includes an introduction to lasers, Gaussian optics, modulators, nonlinear optics, optical devices, and other related devices.
