This is a one-semester course introducing students into the foundations of modern physics. Topics include electric and magnetic field, electric current, magnetism, Maxwell's equations, electromagnetic waves and ray optics. Selected topics with important applications in industry will also be considered.

Introduction to the concepts and tools in physics with the help of demonstration experiments: electromagnetism, optics, introduction to modern physics.

This is a two-semester course introducing students into the foundations of Modern Physics. Topics include electricity and magnetism, light, waves, quantum physics, solid state physics, and semiconductors. Selected topics with important applications in industry will also be considered.

Classical and semi-classical introduction to Quantum Electronics. Mandatory for further elective courses in Quantum Electronics. The field of Quantum Electronics describes propagation of light and its interaction with matter. The emphasis is set on linear wave and beam propagation in dispersive media, interference, diffraction, optical anisotropic materials, waveguides and lasers.
