Intégration Photonique

Photonic Integration

Description: This course further deepens students’ training in photonic engineering. Its objective is to provide the fundamental principles required for the theoretical and numerical analysis, as well as the design, of integrated photonic devices and circuits. Emphasis will be placed on technical and practical aspects. A practical component will introduce students to the numerical simulation of integrated photonic devices using commercial software commonly used in industry.
