The course outlines the fundamental physics underlying the generation, transmission, manipulation and detection of light in photonic components. These are the principles underpinning basic optical devices such as fibers, resonators, lasers and modulators, which nowadays have a widespread use for telecommunication, information processing and sensing in applications ranging from the internet, ta medicine, environmental monitoring and aerospace.
