Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This is an introductory course to the field of photonics.
Table of contents:

Linear optics

Ray optics (short intro)
Electromagnetic waves
Propagation in free space, Maxwell's equations
Propagation in homogeneous, linear, nondispersive, isotropic media (linear response: dielectric function, susceptibility, refractive index)
Plane wave, spherical wave, Gaussian wave, wave packets
Absorption and dispersion (complex refractive index, Kramers-Kronig)
Intensity, Poynting vector, Energy flow
Boundary conditions, phase matching
Waveguides
Crystal optics, polarization states (anisotropic media), Index ellipsoid, wave vector surfaces, ray vector surface and relation, birefringence
Fourier optics

Nonlinear optics

Interference and coherence, interferometry
Nonlinear dielectric susceptibilities: Electro-optic effect (Pockels, Kerr)
Applications: phase- , intensity- , polarization modulation
Photorefractive effect I (electro-optic materials)
Photorefractive effect II (2-states systems, polymers and composites)
Sum-frequency generation: second harmonic generation (coupled wave theory, DEQs and solution, phase matching, realization)
Holography in nonlinear materials, dynamical holography etc.
Photonic bandgap materials, metamaterials, photonic crystals

Basic knowledge in solid state physics required. Closely along the lines of Photonik (in German) by G.A. Reider (s. literature) and Saleh/Teich (Fundamentals of photonics)
