This graduate-level course, "Photonic Materials and Devices," delves into the fundamental principles and design considerations of materials used in photonic applications. It explores topics ranging from optical materials design and waveguide technology to semiconductor physics and nonlinear optics. The course utilizes a combination of lecture notes, problem sets, and readings from foundational texts in photonics. It is designed for students interested in advanced study within Materials Science and Engineering with a focus on optical phenomena and devices.
This course provides an introduction to the fundamental principles of chemical science. It covers topics such as the periodic table, atomic structure, chemical bonding, and molecular structure. The course aims to build a strong foundation in chemistry for undergraduate students, enabling them to understand the behavior of matter at the molecular level. It explores how atoms interact to form molecules and the properties that arise from these interactions.
