EE 526
Nonlinear Optical Materials is a graduate-level course
that will
generally be offered in Spring semesters. It is designed for
students
interested in materials science related interdisciplinary
electronics/electro-optic
engineering areas, to provide an essential understanding of the
mechanisms
of the polarization nonlinearity in electronic materials as well as the
principle of operation of these materials in various photonic and
opto-electronic
applications (e.g., frequency conversion, optical control/communication
and information storage). Analytical methods, utilizing the
electromagnetic
wave theories and tensor operations, will be covered in this course to
treat anisotropic nonlinear optcial materials for their wave-matter
interaction
processes and to enable device designs. Technological issues in
research
and development of advanced opto-electronic devices using noninar
optical
materials are discussed with students' participation. |
