All course notes and other vital information will be available primarily through the course Web site. Some information may also be available in McDermott Library (no guarantee of completeness).
You can access the EE 6328 Web site through the Microcomputer Laboratory in McDermott or the UNIX Laboratory in Jonsson. If you use the Microcomputer Laboratory, you will benefit by using a Macintosh, rather than a PC, because the utilization of the Macs is much lower than the utilization of the PCs.
If you wish to access the World Wide Web from your own computer, you are responsible for obtaining Web access through UTD or an independent Internet Service Provider.

Half of the course grade is based on the homework exercises, which are intended to develop the student's understanding of both the physics of nonlinear optics and the implications of nonlinear-optical effects for the performance of telecommunication systems.
The final examination, which will determine 50% of the course grade, will be held at the time assigned in the official Schedule of Classes.
