OPTO221: Introduction to Optical Science and Technology |
Optical technology is widely used in industry, telecommunications and modern consumer devices, ranging from the tiny lasers in many disc drives to the thousands of kilometres of optical fibres carrying signals between continents. This unit offers an overview of these technologies and the science underlying their operation. Topics covered include light sources, optical fibres and semiconductor devices. A laboratory program develops experimental and optical fibre handling skills. Note that OPTO221 will be offered first in 2008.
