ECE 5336 - Introduction to Integrated Photonics


Credits: 3

Covers the issues of integrated photonics, fundamental principles of electromagnetic theory, waveguides, simulation of waveguide modes, and photonic structures, with a focus on optical waveguides and numerical simulation techniques because advances in optical communications will be based on nanostructure waveguides coupled with new materials. Topics include Maxwell’s equations; slab, step index, and rectangular and graded index wave guides. Also, dispersion, attenuations, nonlinear effects, numerical methods, coupled mode theory, and extensive use of mathematical packages such as MATLAB and Mathematica. Prerequisites: C- or better in ECE 3311 , ECE 3330  or permission of instructor.
