Prof. Dr. Mohamed M. Fadhali 11 Approved By: II.Course Description This course introduces the concepts of photonics (the application and use of light in modern technologies).It is an important course for Applied Physics Program with almost all orientations as it enables students to explore the most related aspects of various technological applications that employ light sources and beam optics. This course provides the essential background of wave optics and its transformations using ray tracing matrices method. It describes the interaction of photon with matter and covers the essentiallaser requirements, laser gain media, laser oscillations inside various resonators, laser stability as well as laser beam characteristics , modes and some of the laser types. It focuses also on beam optics propagation in various media, transformation, modulation and detection. It provides key elements of electro-optics, acoustic-optics and photonic principles behind photonic devices and photonic technology. A fundamental background is established in guided-wave optics and fiber optic waveguide and its characteristics for optical communications.

VII. Facilities RequiredLecture Room 1 - Accommodation:
Computer Lab with Internet 2 - Computing resources:
Data show, Smart Board, Scientific movies about Lasers,
Photonics technology, fiber optic communication and laser
applications
3 - Other Resources:
VIII. Course Evaluation and Improvement Processes1- Strategies for obtaining student feedback on effectiveness of teaching
- Student Questionnaire
- Staff/Student consultative committee meetings
- Focus group discussion with small groups of students.
- Peer observation of teaching and feedback- Student results
2- Other strategies for evaluation of teaching by the instructor or by the department
- External Examiners visit and report
- Module reviews and teaching team reports - Peer observation of teaching and feedback - Module evaluation questionnaires/module forum/module freeform responses
3- Processes for improvement of teaching
- Teaching and learning workshops. - Module reviews and teaching team reports
- Encourage students for self learning, external reading, research, discussions
Unless otherwise stated, the normal course administration policies and rules of the Faculty of science apply. For the policy, University Regulations on academic misconduct will be strictly enforced.
1 Class Attendance:
Students are expected to be on time and present for all class meetings. Students must follow up the rulesof the university regarding the percentage of absence in any course of a semester.
2 Tardy:
Excused absences can be arranged prior to the class period being missed for appropriate activities asdetermined by the instructor. If an emergency results in an absence, the student should contact the
instructor as soon as possible informing the instructor of the emergency and inquiring about ways to
make up the missed class. The instructor will make judgments on how to handle the situation. Possiblereasons for an excused absence are listed in the "Student’s Manual" under class attendance policy.
Attendance and tardy records may result in deductions from your overall grade
3 Exam Attendance/Punctuality:
It is IBB University policy that “ there is no makeup exam for any reason. The student must inform the
faculty member involved for any emergency event so the student absent can be reasoned and next year
can do the exam with full grade”.
4 Assignments & Projects: There will be approximately 5 problem sets during the semester. 15% of the course grade will be based
on homework. Problem sets are due at the scheduled weeks. Late problem sets will not be accepted;however, one assignment may be missed totally without penalty. Students are encouraged to work
together on problem sets; however, each student must hand in an independent write-up.
- Annual Subject Monitoring
- Faculty Board meeting
4- Processes for verifying standards of students achievement
- Check marks of a sample of examination papers or assignment task - External Examiners visit and report
- Whole student papers correction- Peer observation of teaching and feedback
5- Describe the planning procedures for periodically reviewing of course effectiveness and planning
for improvement
- Check up the course regularly to ensure following the recent developments
- Comparing this course with another course in identical program
- Utilizing the modern technology
- Taking into account the Student opinions- Providing new references and resources relevant to the course
- Periodic course review by curriculum committee and physics department
6- Course development plans- Updating the contents by following new published and shared curriculum
- Peer evaluation and review

When cheating or copying is discovered in exams, the observer has to follow up the regulations andrules of university related to cheating
6 Plagiarism:
When students use material from other sources, they must acknowledge this source. Not doing so iscalled plagiarism, which means using without credit the ideas or expressions of another. Therefore,
students are cautioned:
1- Against using, word for word, without acknowledgment, phrases, sentences, paragraphs, etc.,from the printed or manuscript material of others
2- Against using with only slight changes the materials of another.
3- Against using the general plan, the main headings, or a rewritten form of someone else's
material. These cautions apply to the work of other students as well as to the published work of professional writers.
4- Of course, these cautions also apply to information obtained from the Internet, World Wide
Web, or other electronic or on-line sources
7 Other policies: 1- Food and drinks are not allowed into the lecture room. Cell phones should be switched off when
entering the lecture room
2- Disorderly conduct which interferes with the normal classroom atmosphere will not be tolerated.
The classroom instructor is the judge of such behavior and may instruct a disorderly student to leave
the room with an unexcused absence or in more serious situations a student may be removed fromthe class with a failing grade
