At the end of this course the student will be able to :
1. Understand the basic concepts of most of the commercially available lasers.
2. To design experimental setups in order to characterize a laser in the time or the frequency domain.
3. Know the basic principles of nonlinear optics.
4. Read and understand the literature on a subject not developed during the lecture but related to laser physics or applications of lasers. |
The contribution of this Teaching Unit to the development and command of the skills and learning outcomes of the programme(s) can be accessed at the end of this sheet, in the section entitled “Programmes/courses offering this Teaching Unit”.
1) Light matter interaction
2) Presentation of the different classes of lasers (gas, solid state, diode)
3) Characterization of lasers in time and frequency domain.
4) Non-linear optics
5) Applications of lasers e.g. in atomic and molecular physics, and ellipsometry.
According to the interests of the audience, other selected topics could be addressed.
