Brief description of the course


This course is suitable for students from electronics, instrumentation, electrical and telecommunication

engineering backgrounds. This covers in detail various types of integrated optic waveguides which are the

fundamental components of any photonic device. The course also deals in brief with the technology aspects of

the photonic integrated devices along with a a numerical technique used for the analysis. The topics include

various components like resonators, couplers, periodic structures, and some recent advances in the field. A few

simulations will also be demonstrated that helps in understanding these components. This course can come in

handy for all those who want to pursue research in the field of Integrated Optics.
