Photonics is where electromagnetism meets quantum mechanics: instead of treating light as just a classical wave, you learn to quantize the field, count photons, and track how they exchange energy with atomic systems through absorption, spontaneous emission, and stimulated emission, the last being what makes lasers possible. The work is heavily computational, with weekly homeworks and quizzes asking you to calculate transition rates, gain coefficients, saturation behavior, and steady-state populations in pumped media using Saleh & Teich as the reference. Sitting on top of your EM and quantum background, it turns abstract field theory into the working physics behind real devices, laser diodes, LEDs, photodetectors, electro-optic modulators, and is the natural entry point if you want to do optoelectronics, integrated photonics, or quantum optics later.
