\nReview of math concepts, waves, and EM theory, Maxwell s equations and the wave equation,
\nplane-wave solution and properties, Lorentz oscillator model of optical properties,
\nreflection and refraction at a dielectric interface, Fabry-Perot, multilayer films,
\npolarization optics, Jones calculus, Fraunhofer diffraction, single and double slit diffraction,
\nAiry disk for a circular aperture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nWave equations for propagation in dielectric media, solutions using the beam\npropagation method based on spectral (Fourier, Hankel transforms) and finite\ndifference methods, with emphasis on thorough understanding of both the underlying\nphysics and numerical simulation principles. Practical, hands-on approach\nwith applications in various contexts, such as optical waveguides, free-space with\noptical elements, optical cavities, integrated optics and nonlinear optics. Provides\na solid background for those interested in informed and efficient use of commercial\nsimulation packages, and a firm knowledge basis for those interested in numerical\nmodeling in optics in general.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nThis course is designed to give students the basics in performing\nmodeling work related to nonlinear optics, and to start\nbuilding skills necessary to create simulation software.\nEmphasis is on practical training in numerical methods\napplied in optics, and especialy in the context of nonlinear \nlight-matter interactions in femtosecond pulses.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
