Course Name: Physics of linear and nonlinear optical waveguides

Course abstract

Optical waveguide is a physical structure that guides electromagnetic waves and it is the most important component of integrated optical circuits. This course is intended to describe the theoretical basis of optical waveguides. In this course we learn the principal of light guidance by understanding the light-matter interaction in linear and nonlinear regime. We will also discuss different optical components based on waveguides that are used extensively in communication and sensing. This course is mostly self-contained with very basic prerequisites like knowledge of elementary algebra and calculus. The course is prepared for the senior graduate and M.Sc. students having a prior knowledge of electromagnetic theory.

Prof. Samudra Roy

I completed my PhD from CGCRI (a CSIR Lab) in 2009 and carried out my post-doctoral research from Hokkaido University, Japan and Max Planck Institute, Germany during 2009-2013. In 2013, I joined in the Physics Department of IIT-KGP as an assistant professor. My research interest includes nonlinear photonics and optical soliton dynamics.
