Most of my student-centered research projects involve optics with interdisciplinary applications. I am particularly interested in using polarized light to investigate insect wings and exocuticles, objects buried in complex media, human tissues, geological samples, solid surfaces, and atomic and molecular gases. I also use matrix theory to model the optical properties of these systems. For more details on the projects, visit here.

Course Registration Number:44379 (View in ClassFinder) Credit Hours:4 Credit Hours Instructor:Adam S. Green Foundations of geometric optics: Fermat's Principle of Stationary Time. Nature of electromagnetic waves: dipole radiation, energy, momentum, polarization, coherence, interference, diffraction, Fourier optics. Interactions between light and matter: scattering, reflection, refraction, absorption, dispersion, birefringence, dichroism, nonlinear effects. Quantum optics: nature of the photon, lasers, detectors, other modern topics. Lecture and discussion, with a combination of in-person (M, F) and synchronous online (W) instruction during scheduled class times. Laboratory with an emphasis on biomedical applications. This course is a lecture/lab format, students registering for PHYS 347-01 must also register for PHYS 347-61. Prerequisites: A minimum grade of C- in PHYS 225, MATH 200, and MATH 210.
