Wave Transmission and Fiber Optics

  • Waves and Maxwell's equations.
  • Field energetics, dispersion, complex power.
  • Waves in dielectrics and in conductors.
  • Reflection and refraction.
  • Oblique incidence and total internal reflection.
  • Transmission lines and conducting waveguides.
  • Planar and circular dielectric waveguides; integrated optics and optical fibers.
  • Hybrid and LP modes.
  • Graded-index fibers.
  • Mode coupling; wave launching.
