About
Class material from Physics 208 "Electrooptics" at San Jose State for Spring 2009. This podcast will mostly contain recorded lectures in m4a format.
Ultrafast optics
We look at generation, propagation and detection of ultrafast laser pulses
Nonlinear Wave Equation
We use coupled mode analysis to investigate the field amplitudes in three wave mixing, and look at the effect of phase mismatch on the conversion effi...
Phase Matching of SHG
We look at the phase matching condition for Second Harmonic Generation and also do a tuning curve example for an OPO
Nonlinear optics 1
We introduce non-linear optics and discuss various forms of 3 wave mixing including frequency converters, optical parametric amplifiers (OPAs), optica...
2D Waveguides
We generalize the expressions for 1D waveguide to 2 dimensions and focus on the calculation of power coupled into a waveguide from a Gaussian beam.
1D waveguides
We look at both the ray picture and field picture of modes in a 1D waveguide.
Propagation in periodic media
We look at Bloch Wave solutions to propagation in a periodic material using Fourier analysis of the material permittivity.
