Various properties of light have been effectively utilized for liquid crystal displays, communication equipments, and lighting
in our daily lives. The aim of this course is to provide students with basic knowledge on opto-electronics based on the wave-particle
duality of light. This enables students to catch up with rapidly developing technlogies in opto-electrnics.
- Demonstrate the ability to explain the properties of light as electromagnetic waves based on Maxwell equations.
- Demonstrate the ability to explain basic phenomena such as reflection, refraction, and interference of light based on simple calculations.
- Demonstrate the ability to explain working principles of various apparatus utilizing opto-electronic technologies.
