This lecture describes the fabrication, working principles and applications of nanophotonics and photonic circuits. Nanophotonics and photonic circuits enable the generation, control and detection of light on chip-scale devices with performance beyond what is possible with traditional bulk optics. Applications of nanophotonics include telecommunications, microscopy, and fundamental science.

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.
