A FREE instructor-paced course brought to you by nanoHUB-U

Taught by Purdue Assistant Professor Peter Bermel

This five-week short course aims to introduce students to the next generation of optical and opto-electronic systems using a unique, “bottom up” approach.

Course Objective

Classical ray optics and the associated components, such as convex lenses and metallic mirrors have played a crucial role in modern technology; however, the limitations of these components in terms of size, flexibility, and cost have become increasingly clear over the last two decades. Fortunately, systems at the wavelength scale (nanophotonics) or smaller (plasmonics, metamaterials) stand ready to provide new capabilities for the next generation of optical and opto-electronic components, including new types of optical waveguides, lasers, detectors, and solar cells. In this class, we will study advanced methods for simulating such nanophotonic and plasmonic optical systems, including photonic bandstructure solvers, transfer matrix analysis, rigorous coupled wave analysis, finite-difference time domain, and finite-element methods.
