Recorded class lectures from Peter Beyersdorf's Physics 158 (Modern Optics) class at San Jose State University from the Spring of 2008. Recordings will be added twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

  1. 06/05/2008

    Modulators

    We look at the behavior of electrooptic devices as amplitude and phase modulators.

    1 h

  2. 01/05/2008

    Birefringence

    We look at birefringence in crystals and discuss optical activity and the Faraday effect.

    1 h 10 min

  3. 24/04/2008

    Polarization of light

    We look at the vectorial nature of light and describe polarization in terms of Jones vectors

    57 min

  4. 15/04/2008

    Diffraction from Double Slits

    Diffraction from a double slit is discussed. The convolution theorem is presented and the grating equation is derived. (incomplete)

    18 min

  5. 10/04/2008

    More Diffraction

    We look at the relationship between far-field (Fraunhofer) diffraction and the Fourier transform, and explore the diffraction pattern of a uniformly illuminated circular aperture, which leads to the Rayleigh criterion for resolution in an optical system.

    53 min

  6. 08/04/2008

    Diffraction

    We look at Fraunhofer diffraction from a slit and for a Gaussian beam. We use Huygen's principle and also discuss Babinet's principle

    1 h 15 min

  7. 03/04/2008

    More Fiber Optics

    We discuss unconventional types of fibers including photonic crystal fibers

    59 min

  8. 01/04/2008

    Fiber Optics

    We introduce the basic principles and parameters associated with fiber optics
