Learning outcomes
The student knows the fundamentals of wave optics and photonics (coherence, interference, polarization, the Helmholtz equation) and understands the operation of thin-film systems, photonic crystals, waveguides and optical fibers, diffractive elements, as well as the basics of holography and plasmonics.
The student is able to formulate and apply mathematical and numerical models describing fundamental photonic structures and phenomena, and to analyze and interpret the properties and performance of photonic elements and systems, including layered, waveguide, diffractive, and plasmonic structures.
The student is prepared to critically evaluate the results of photonic system modeling and to independently expand their knowledge and skills in modern optical technologies.
Assessment criteria
Aural exam and the results of the exercises.Oral exam – the student draws two questions from a previously provided list of topics and answers them during the examination.
Assessment of numerical exercises – based on the tasks completed throughout the semester.
