Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Aims
At the end of this course, students will have the necessary background to understand the basics of photonic related research fields and subjects. Students will obtain the competence to independently derive basic quantities by application of appropriate mathematical models both on paper and in simple computer simulations.

Contents
Topics include: interferometers, interference coatings, resonators, ultrafast lasers, nonlinear optics, spectral and noise properties of light, waveguides, holography, nonlinear electrooptic materials, photorefractive effect, holographic gratings, optical metamaterials, photonic bandgap materials and wave-coupling.

Methods
Methods of the course include interactive lectures with regular student participation, exercise classes employing various learning methods (group work, individual homework assignments, mathematical examples, basic programming examples).

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

In-class examples (20%), short student talks (30%) and a final oral exam (50%). During the final oral exam, no materials are permitted. Each assessment category (examples, talks, exam) must be passed (min. 50%) to pass the course.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

Throughout this course a total of 80 points will be obtainable. The minimum requirement for a passing grade is 40 points or more. Grades will be given as indicated below:
≥ 40 points: 4
≥ 50 points: 3
≥ 60 points: 2
≥ 70 points: 1
The final oral exam is part of the continuous assessment and cannot be repeated.
