4.00 Credits
This course will cover such topics as the effects of dispersion, scatter, and inhomogeneity in multilayer interference coating designs. Attention will be given toward manufacturability of designs and meeting common optical specifications. Design assignments will address fields including, but not limited to Ophthalmic, Lighting, Display, Infrared applications, Lasers, and Telecommunications.

4.00 Credits
This course explores the design of the human eye, revealing the optical and neural factors that limit color and spatial vision. The design of eyes (such as those of predatory birds and the compound eyes of insects) that evolved to operate in environments different from that of the human eye will also be examined. The course will begin with a treatment of the information losses associated with the eye's optics, the photoreceptor mosaic, and the ganglion cell array that transmits visual information to the brain. The course will end with a discussion of image processing by the visual cortex of the brain.

4.00 Credits
Physics and implementation of X-ray, ultrasonic, and MR imaging systems. Special attention given to the Fourier transform relations and reconstruction algorithms of X-ray and ultrasonic-computed tomography, and MRI.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to the electronic structure of extended materials systems from both a chemical bonding and a condensed matter physics perspective. The course will discuss materials of all length scales from individual molecules to macroscopic three-dimensional crystals, but will focus on zero, one, and two dimensional inorganic materials at the nanometer scale. Specific topics include semiconductor nanocrystals, quantum wires, carbon nanotubes, and conjugated polymers. Two weekly lectures of 75 minutes each. Cross listed with OPT 456.
-
4.00 Credits
This covers topics in electromagnetic theory that serve as a foundation for classical descriptions of many optical phenomena. A partial list of topics includes: review of Maxwell's equations, boundary conditions, and wave equations; polarization of light; crystal optics; vector, scalar, and Hertz potentials; radiation from accelerated charges; electric and magnetic dipole radiation; Lorentz atom description of the interaction of light with matter; scattering; optical waveguides.
-
4.00 Credits
This course provides an up-to-date knowledge of modern laser systems. Topics covered include quantum mechanical treatments to two-level atomic systems, optical gain, homogenous and inhomogenous broadening, laser resonators and their modes, Gaussian beams, cavity design, pumping schemes, rate equations, Q-switching, mode-locking, various gas, liquid, and solid-state lasers.
-
4.00 Credits
Fundamentals and applications of optical systems based on the nonlinear interaction of light with matter. Topics to be treated include mechanisms of optical nonlinearity, second-harmonic and sum- and difference-frequency generation, photonics and optical logic, optical self-action effects including self-focusing and optical soliton formation, optical phase conjugation, stimulated Brillouin and stimulated Raman scattering, and selection criteria of nonlinear optical materials.
