The is focused on electromagnetic optics of periodic nanostructures for dealing with photonic crystals and derived photonic devices and metamaterials. The first part of the course will present the mathematical description of light and optical systems such as bulk materials, thin films, and gratings. The second part will show rigorous and approximate models of the optical response of periodic structures and its interpretation. The final part will introduce applications in photonics and basic methods of optical experiments. Appropriate for master and doctor course studies.

Last update: T_FUUK (15.05.2008)

The primary goal of the lecture is to teach students the modern optical theory of periodic nanostructures, which is necessary in the design and analysis of derived optical devices and metamaterials in the frame of photonics.

The secondary goal is to show examples of photonic applications, which are apt to replace traditional optical, electronic, or optoelectronic elements and materials.

The tertiary goal is to show basic experimental methods of optical measurement of periodic nanostructures.
