Nanoelectronics and Photonics, Specialization Course

The student shall choose two elective themes of 3.75 SP each. Possible themes are:
TFE12 Advanced Methods in Modern Optics.
TFE13 Fotonic Components.
Other specialization courses can be relevant and will be evaluated together with the project supervisor.

The course will give an understanding of advanced photonic components and materials, and knowledge of relevant mathematical methods to analyze and simulate photonic systems.

Knowledge:
- understand matrix methods for periodic structures
- understand Bloch formalism for materialer
- metamaterials
- density matrices
- nonlinear and ultrafast phenomena
- selected photonic components

Skills:
- combine previous knowledge in optics, electrodynamics, and mathematics with new theory to solve practical problems in photonics.
- use computer tools for solution and visualization in photonics.

Competence:
- practical project and presenting results.

The elective themes can be taught through lectures, seminars and self studies. If the specialization course consists of 2 topics, both must be passed to receive "pass" on the course. Both topics must be repeated in case of a failing result.
