Electromagnetic Waves. RF Seminar
Winter term
Taught by Pedro Bernaola Galván
In this course, we will present the fundamentals of electromagnetic waves and the available modeling tools. We will provide a comprehensive description of all the physical interfaces and their corresponding electromagnetic wave simulation studies.
Additionally, we will thoroughly review various phenomena and systems that can be modeled using the aforementioned interfaces and physics studies. This will include an in-depth exploration of their theoretical background.
Throughout the course, we will cover significant phenomena like scattering, absorption, beams, secondary harmonic generation, and autofocusing, among others. Furthermore, we will study specific systems based on electromagnetic wave propagation or interaction, such as waveguides, couplers, optical fibers, plasmonic systems, photonic crystals, laser cavities, diffraction gratings, and metamaterials, among others.
