Classical and Quantum Integrated Photonics

Instructor: Ronald M. Reano, Professor

Research Area: Waveguide integrated photonics, electro-optics and hybrid RF/optical devices

Duration: Half-day

Date/Time: Thursday, August 6  |  1:30 PM - 5:00 PM

Integrated photonics is the application of thin-films to optical circuits and devices to achieve high-performance optical systems with advantages in miniaturization, mechanical stability, and economies of scale.  This short course introduces the fundamentals of integrated photonics designed to exploit fundamental linear and nonlinear optical effects in the classical and quantum domains.  Applications in sensing, communications, and RF photonics will be discussed.
