4credit hour(s)Prerequisite:ENGT 1020 An intermediate course stressing laser and photonic applications in science and industry. Students will learn P principles of laser operation, construction and technology. Students will learn about optical fibers and how to couple free-space lasers to single-mode and multi-mode fibers. Optical measurements will be studied with an emphasis on optical loss, coupling efficiency, and spectroscopy. The principles of various types of optical detectors and their application will also be studied.
