Three-line description:
The ability to control light at the nanoscale and manipulate photons in the same way as electrons gives the possibility to replace slow electronic circuits by high speed photonic ones. This course for fourth-year bachelor students and first-year mater students will cover the basic concepts of deep-subwavelength waveguides and cavities necessary to understand the nanophotonic circuits design, starting from Maxwell’s equations to modelling of light propagation in complex structures, classical and quantum optics circuits.
