 GCE 6403: “Photonic Ceramics”

In this course, I teach fundamental optical processes and ceramic materials used in various photonic applications. Optical processes include processes that can be explained with the electromagnetic wave theory of light such as reflection, transmission, propagation of light an optical media, absorption, electro-optic effects etc. Ceramic materials to be covered in this course are LiNbO3, KTP, PLZT for electro-optic and Nd:YAG for laser applications. I also briefly discuss the quantum description of absorption and emission. In order to understand the optical processes, I start the course with a brief introduction to electromagnetics and then move on to describe the wave theory of light.
