Introduce the students the fundamental concepts of photonics and optics. Therefore, Photodetectors, Optical Fibers and Optical Fiber Communication devices are in the scope of the course. Various photon sources such as LEDS and lasers are discussed and mathematical modelles are obtained. Lastly, operational principles of photonic devices are examined

The basic descriptions of light as rays (geometrical optics), waves (physical optics), and photons. Electromagnetic theory of light. Reflection and refraction of light rays and waves from planar and curved surfaces. Statistical optics and photon optics.
