Elaborate Course: Micro/Nano-Photonics

精品课程：微纳光子学

I. Course Introduction (including teaching goals and requirements):

The development of micro electronic technique is highly limited by the requirement of miniaturization and integration of electronic device. Although the discovery of optical phenonena in micro/nano scale and the development of micro/nano optical electronic device start relatively late, this new subject has attracted incresing attentions due to the rapid development of optics and micro/nano fabrication technology. Nowadays, plenty of research have been made in this specific field. In this course, we would like to introduce the novel optical phenomena and technologies in micro/nano scale, and discuss the interaction between light and matter in micro/nano scale and its applications in generation, transportation, modulation and detection of light. We will focus on the physical mechanism of micro/nano optical devices and the latest research progress of the micro/nano optics. Topics including optical manipulation, plasmonics, metallic micro/nano structure, near/far field imaging and metasurface will be covered.
