EE 642 Electo-Optics and Photonics

Introduces electro-optics, acousto-optics, magneto optics, and photonic switching. Covers the bulk electro-optic effect, with discussion of switching, phase and amplitude modulation, optical isolation and beam deflection applications. The Faraday effect and Faraday isolators, waveguide electro-optic effects, with application to switching, modulation, and computer logic circuits; the acousto optic effect, with application to switching, frequency modulation, beam deflection, and optical filtering; and principles of photonic switching.
