Description
This module is 100% hands-on and deals with experimental and numerical practice in photonics at both the component and system scales, as well as simulations of photonic systems and microwave components using professional software.
Objectives
The objective is to provide experimental and numerical skills in photonic and microwave components and systems. The student will be able to develop an experimental and metrological know-how, and he will be able to implement simulations under commercial software in order to simulate the behavior of components or concrete systems.
Necessary pre-requisites
Knowledge of physical principles and components in photonics and microwave.
Recommended prerequisites*:
Knowledge of Matlab or equivalent software.
Knowledge control
TP exam (100%)
