| Course Description |
The micro-photonics part of the course will cover the application of optical fibres outside of the telecommunications applications (covered in PHYS3060) and includes architecture, astronomy a wide range of fibre sensors, and applications in architecture, astronomy, automotive, aerospace and structural health (bridges, ships). Bio-Photonics will cover the increasing use of fibre optics in medical procedures and diagnostics including endoscopy, laser therapy and dosimetry. The nano-photonics part of the course will include carbon wires, lithography, photonic crystals, and nanofibres and devices. Laboratory work covers both hands-on, fibre-based experiments and software simulations. Note: if required, this course is also available as ENGN4613 |
