Summary
Subject Fundamentals of Photonics is concentrated to the explanation of the principal effects in optics, the interaction of radiation and matter, pn junction especially. Subject begins with the explanation of the principal effects in optics, both geometrical and wave and quantum. Students become familiar with the managing of basic activities during optical systém designing, basic manipulation with special sw. The subject part is the study of energy properties of light and radiation.
