Course
Objectives:
1. Students will learn the fundamentals of guided wave propagation in planar rectangular dielectric waveguides.
2. Students will learn concepts for design and synthesis of planar lightwave devices (modulators, resonators, switches, filters, couplers, interferometers, multiplexers, bistable devices).
