This course aims to provide you with an understanding of a variety of modern photonic sensing systems and their component technologies. You will learn about the foundational physical principles underpinning different photonic sensors and—using topical case studies—the contexts in which these device technologies can be deployed in complete sensing systems.
The course is taught in two halves. The first part deals with sensors using interferometric and spectroscopic techniques, and related case studies in science and engineering. The second part explores a range of topics, including the fundamentals of optical measurement, emerging real-world applications of photonic sensors, and associated technologies.
