| Course description |
| In the lectures, we focus on light propagation in optical waveguides such as semiconductor lasers, and optical fibers for optoelectronic devices. The fundamental of optical mode and its influences on the light propagation are discussed. We also study optical pulse propagation, its broadening, and compression. |
| Expected Learning |
|
Able to understand the electromagnetic wave propagation. Able to learn the fundamental theory of light propagation. |
