Since the invention of the laser, our fascination with the photon has led to one of the most dynamic and rapidly growing fields of technology. An explosion of new materials, devices, and applications makes it more important than ever to stay current with the latest advances. Surveying the field from fundamental concepts to state-of-the-art developments, Photonics: Principles and Practices builds a comprehensive understanding of the theoretical and practical aspects of photonics from the basics of light waves to fiber optics and lasers. Providing self-contained coverage and using a consistent approach, the author leads you step-by-step through each topic. Each skillfully crafted chapter first explores the theoretical concepts of each topic and then demonstrates how these principles apply to real-world applications by guiding you through experimental cases illuminated with numerous illustrations. Coverage is divided into six broad sections, systematically working through light, optics, waves and diffraction, optical fibers, fiber optics testing, and laboratory safety. A complete glossary, useful appendices, and a thorough list of references round out the presentation. The text also includes a 16-page insert containing 28 full-color illustrations. Containing several topics presented for the first time in book form, Photonics: Principles and Practices is simply the most modern, comprehensive, and hands-on text in the field.

Since the invention of the laser, our fascination with the photon has led to one of the most dynamic and rapidly growing fields of technology. As the reality of all-optical systems quickly comes into focus, it is more important than ever to have a thorough understanding of light and the optical components used to control it. Comprising chapters drawn from the author's highly anticipated book Photonics: Principles and Practices, Light and Optics: Principles and Practices offers a detailed and focused treatment for anyone in need of authoritative information on this critical area underlying photonics.

Using a consistent approach, the author leads you step-by-step through each topic. Each skillfully crafted chapter first explores the theoretical concepts of each topic, and then demonstrates how these principles apply to real-world applications by guiding you through experimental cases illuminated with numerous illustrations. The book works systematically through light, light and shadow, thermal radiation, light production, light intensity, light and color, the laws of light, plane mirrors, spherical mirrors, lenses, prisms, beamsplitters, light passing through optical components, optical instruments for viewing applications, polarization of light, optical materials, and laboratory safety.

Containing several topics presented for the first time in book form, Light and Optics: Principles and Practices is simply the most modern, comprehensive, and hands-on text in the field.

The response of a photon detector is a function of the optical wavelength with a long-wavelength cutoff, whereas that of a thermal detector is wavelength independent. A photon detector can be much more responsive than a thermal detector in a particular spectral region, which typically falls somewhere within the range from the near ultraviolet to the near infrared. By comparison, a thermal detector normally covers a wide spectral range from the deep ultraviolet to the far infrared with a nearly constant response. Photon detectors can be made extremely sensitive. Some of them have a photon-counting capability that is not possible for a thermal detector. A photon detector can be designed to have a high response speed capable of following very fast optical signals. Most thermal detectors are relatively slow in response because the speed of a thermal detector is limited by thermalization through heat diffusion and by heat dissipation when the power of an optical signal varies. For these reasons, photon detectors are suitable for detecting optical signals in photonic systems, whereas thermal detectors are most often used for optical power measurement or infrared imaging. In this chapter, only the basic principles of photon detectors are discussed because our major concern is photodetection for photonics applications.

The Advanced Materials course comprises two modules: Advanced Functional Materials and Nanostructured Materials. Objective of the integrated course is that of giving examples of new classes of functional materials for smart applications. Focusing on the peculiar physical and chemical properties of the different material systems, applications in the field of electronics, optoelectronics and photonics are presented. The Advanced Functional Materials module mainly focuses on organic materials while the Nanostructured Material part deals with inorganic semiconductors and metals.

The Advanced Functional Materials course aims at providing knowledge about organic materials for electronics and optoelectronics. The course deals with conducting materials, photochromic materials, liquid crystals, as distinct topics. For each class of materials, molecular structure-properties relationships are studied also considering the possible technological applications. Attention is focused on the design of devices such as LEDs, transistors, photovoltaic cells, LCDs, sensors and smart windows. Finally, techniques for the deposition of the organic materials into films are considered.

The Nanostructured Materials course introduces the students to light-matter interactions in semiconductor micro- and nano-structures and metallic nanostructures. Purpose of the course is the study of the effects of electron and light confinement on the optical properties of materials. After a basic review of waves (electromagnetic and quantum mechanical) and semiconductors, various approaches to confine these waves will be described. Examples of devices employing such confinement will be considered. Particular attention will be devoted to the generation of light in semiconductors: spontaneous and stimulated emission, lasers, and light emitting diodes will be dealt with. Starting from a general description of the physics of lasers, the evolution from diode lasers to the last generation of nanotechnological (quantum cascade) lasers will be detailed.This will be complemented by the description of the most commonly employed fabrication technologies. Finally, as an example of subwavelength optical confinement, plasmonics and some of its applications will be discussed.

These learning outcomes are expected to provide the student basic knowledge tools necessary to i) understand the technology trends and i) perform future activities aimed at the development of materials for electronics optoelectronics and smart optics.

The final exams consists in two parts: a written examination for the Advanced Functional Materials course plus an oral examination for the Nanostructured Materials course. The examination of the two modules can be taken separately and there is no precedence.

In the open question, the student is required to clearly describe and critically discuss the proposed topic. Not only the knowledge about the topic is assessed, but also the correct use of a proper scientific language and clarity in the description. As for the numerical exercise, one type of device (i.e. FET, photovoltaic cell, LED) is proposed and the main characteristics have to be calculated starting from the given experimental data. Regarding this part, not only the correct calculation is assessed but also the proper use of significant decimals and units of measurement. Then, starting from the knowledge acquired during the course the efficiency of the device has to be assigned to a proper material (or to a specific material processing or post processing) and the assignment has to be properly supported. The structure-to-property exercise aims at evaluating the ability of the student to apply the acquired knowledge on molecular design to a case study, finding the right key to solve the problem.
