Summary
This advanced theoretical course introduces students to basic concepts in wave scattering theory, with a focus on scattering matrix theory and its applications, in particular in photonics.
Content
A. The S matrix (basic definitions and examples)
B. Properties of the S matrix (flux conservation, time-reversal, reciprocity, scattering time, particle-like states, Wigner-Smith operators)
C. Resonant scattering (coupled mode theory, time-bandwidth product, quality factor, bound states in continuum)
D. Scattering networks (eigenvalue problem, external port scattering, eigenmodes)
E. Topological scattering properties (homotopy of unitary operators, topological networks)
F. Free field electromagnetic scattering, if time allows
Note
Course based on blackboard-style lectures and course notes written by the instructor. A basic knowledge of wave phenomena and linear algebra is required.
Keywords
scattering, wave phenomena
Resources
Notes/Handbook
Lecture notes will be made available for the students in due time.
