Introduction to Electromagnetics and Photonics

Enrollment Requirements: Undergraduate Prerequisite: (CASPY 212 or CASPY 252) and (CASMA 226 or CASMA 231); Undergraduate Corequisite: ENGBE 403 or ENGEC 401; Graduate Prerequisite: Graduate Standing This course familiarizes the student with fundamental concepts in electromagnetics and photonics that govern the generation, propagation, and reception of fields and waves in the optical and radio-frequency domains. Topics include the formulation of Maxwell's equations; propagation in free-space, waveguides, and dispersive or anisotropic media, including metamaterials; lightwave interactions at interfaces; radiation and scattering theory for antennas and from apertures. There will be a strong emphasis on connecting these theoretical concepts to current and emerging applications and technologies.
