PHYS 5005

Advanced topics in theoretical electrodynamics. General topics covered will include Green's functions, boundary value problems, multipole expansions, waveguides, resonant cavities, radiating systems, scattering, dynamics of relativistic particles, collisions, and radiation damping. More advanced and special topics may include optical properties of matter, non-linear optics, plasmonic lenses, optoelectronic devices, frequency doubling in lasers, metamaterials, and photonic crystals. Prerequisite(s): Admission to the M.Sc. program
