About
About the course
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
The course will give an introduction to light-matter interactions on the nanoscale, as well as to applications of photonics in nanotechnology.
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.
Recommended previous knowledge
Basic electromagnetism, optics and semiconductor physics.
