Summary
The course extends the students knowledge in mathematics, physics, optelectronics and integrated optics. The aim is to present the principles and methods used for the description, design and application based on wave propagation in photonic crystal structures.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Analyse the methods used for description of photonic crystal structures,
evaluate the application of photonic crystals structures in terms of solution to practical problems
