Integrated photonics - 5PMNPIN0

Goal(s)

This course has a double objective: first, to provide the fundamental theoretical elements to understand the operation and design of waveguides in integrated photonics; second, to introduce the elementary functions of integrated photonics as well as the methods to combine them to realize real photonic integrated circuits.

Content(s)

• Introduction: historical background and examples of applications of integrated photonics

• Part 1: Optical waveguides
  --Maxwell's equations and wave equations
  --The asymmetric plane guide
  --Channel guides
  --Properties of guided modes
  --Overview of radiated modes

• Part 2 : elementary functions
  --the directional coupler
  --the Y junction
  --the Mach-Zenhder interferometer
  --the Bragg reflector

fundamentals of electromagnetism
use of rotational, laplacian, gradient and divergence operators
mastery of vector space concepts: eigenvalues and eigenvectors.
