PHYSIC 636 Nanophotonics

Nanophotonics is an emerging field of study concerning light-matter interactions on the nanometer scale that lead to many fascinating phenomena with a wide array of applications involving the generation, propagation, manipulation, and detection of photons in structures and nanometer size devices. This graduate-level course is intended to cover subjects ranging from the basic physical principles to leading edge research in nanophotonics. In addition to organized lectures, students are guided to conduct their own research and/or survey specific topics of their interest and are required to write a report and present their findings towards the end of the semester.
