Course content
This course will focus on general concepts and device developments in the rapidly evolving field of nanoscale optics and photonics. Topics covered include; nano-scale and near-field optics, near-field optical probes, quantum confined materials, plasmonics. Nanophotonic devices to be discussed include: photonic crystals, nanolasers, single-photon sources, nanostructured solar cells and sensors.
Learning outcome
To give students a thorough understanding of light-matter interactions at the nanoscale, as well as applications of photonics in nanotechnology.
Knowledge:
- Understand devices and general concepts used in nano-optics, nano-photonics and nano-optoelektronics.
- Understand nanoscale and near-field optics, optical near-field probes, optical antennas, plasmonics and semiconductor quantum structures.
- Understand the function of photonic crystals, metamaterials, nano-lasers, single photon sources, nano-structured solar cells and sensors.
Skills:
- Combine previously acquired knowledge and skills in electromagnetism, optics and electron physics with new theory to solve practical problems in nano-photonics.
- Make experimental optical measurements on nanoscale semiconductor materials.
General knowledge:
- Reading/study of own project on scientific work in nanophotonics.
- Oral and written presentation of research paper.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures, calculation exercises, and student presentations. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral. The course may be held in English.
