Optical and Photonic Devices and Systems 1 - PHTN321

Lasers and optical waveguides (including optical fibres) are critical to the operation of most optical technologies. The physical principles of these devices are discussed in detail in this unit, and some applications in industry and biophotonics are presented. Related laboratory work in lasers, laser applications and single-mode optical fibres is included.
