EE 348: Lasers and Optical Engineering (Fall 2007)
This is an upper division undergraduate course that introduces the key aspects of lasers and other optical devices that are used in a variety of applications, ranging from cutting/welding to >10 Tbit/s fiber optic data links to artificial guide stars for astronomy. We will develop the requisite physics to (1) discover why lasers are actually losers, (2) qualitatively and quantitatively describe laser operation, and (3) identify the key tradeoffs in practical laser design.
