Course Aims

To use the principles of physical optics and light-matter interaction to study the optical properties of materials and optical devices. To explore and discuss applications of the course's topics in science and technology and to explore the principles and applications of nano-optics and nano-photonics.

Upon successful completion of the course, students are expected to be equipped with sufficient knowledge to discuss the different techniques used to study the interaction of light with mater, to explain the basic microscopic processes that describe the propagation of light in different media as it relates to propagation, absorption, and emission processes, and to develop a working knowledge in the application of selected photonic and optical material systems and devices.

The students will be able to rationalize and explain the applications of the course contents to modern practical scientific and technological applications with emphasis in nanomaterials and nanotechnology.
