Integrated Photonics

The certificate course will introduce the theoretical and technological foundations of photonic integrated circuits. This comprises theoretical basics of wave propagation and of light-matter interaction, fundamental principles of optical waveguides, passive and active optical devices, and optical detectors, as well as state-of-the art photonic integration platforms and applications of PIC in various different fields. Lectures will be complemented by tutorials, laboratory courses and studies of recent scientific literature in the field of photonic integration.

After course completion, participants should understand the specific advantages and strengths of photonic integrated circuits,conceive the principles of light-matter interaction and optical waveguiding, understand and mathematically describe signal propagation in optical waveguides, be able to start designing and testing photonic integrated circuits, be able to judge the technical complexity and feasibility of photonic building blocks.
