the physical foundation and the mathematical tools for the comprehension and
design of photonics circuits on an optical chip. topics: overview of optical
chips and application - the physical foundation of optical surface waves.
the modes of optical structures based on complex media and especially nano-sized.
basic photonic circuit elements (including optical couplers, switcher, periodic
structures, filtering and routing elements). plasmonics - light guiding in nano
- metalic structures.
