The main goal of the course is to provide basic information about Photonics that will be developed and treated in more detail mainly in the courses of the Master Degree in Electronics (with specialization in Photonics)

The course starts from the description of the main fundamentals that underlie the sources used in the field of Photonics, with particular attention to the laser sources. Are subsequently introduced the fundamental properties of Gaussian beams which represent a good model for the beam emitted by the laser and are discussed the main components and devices that can be used to manipulate the laser beams. The aim of the second part of the course is to provide an introduction to optical fibers and integrated optics.

Conventional sources and laser sources

Propagation of optical waves and Gaussian beams

Optical components

Optical devices for modulation, deflection and amplification of light

Optical fibers and integrated optical circuits

Short description of the main applications (telecommunications, biomedical applications, sensors, industrial applications)

Lectures (hours/year in lecture theatre): 20
Practical class (hours/year in lecture theatre): 0
Practicals / Workshops (hours/year in lecture theatre): 10

=We will mainly refer to scientific papers and on the slides used in the lessons

The exams consists in a presentation prepared by the student in which a particular topic is treated in detail and on a general discussion about the techniques presented in the course
