Learning outcomes
|
At the beginning quantities describing the optical properties of solids are introduced. Then the optical phenomenon as electrooptical, acoustooptical, magnetooptical are explained using appropriate mathematical description. Examples of real structures are demonstrated continuously.
Knowledge Describe function of standard optoelectronic elements, describe basic optical properties of solids.
