Explores the optical properties of materials, including reflection, refraction, absorption, and transmission, as well as the behavior of light in optical fibers.
Covers the fundamental concepts of laser operation, including dispersion theory, gain and resonators, different types of laser systems, noise characteristics, optical fibers, ultrafast lasers, and nonlinear frequency conversion.
Explores light propagation in optical fibers, modes in waveguides, fiber types, and fiber lasers, along with historical insights and mode types in slab waveguides.
Explores non-destructive testing methods for assessing object health without damage, covering visual inspection, tapping, eddy current techniques, radiography, ultrasonics, and health monitoring.
Delves into advanced techniques in optical fiber communications to increase spectral efficiency and explores the use of multi-core fibers for space-division multiplexing.
