Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Aims:

To grasp basic understanding of the optical properties of photonic materials including nanostructured and non-conventional metamaterials.
To find interests in on-going research related to photonic applications based on these materials.

Contents:

Electromagnetic fields and wave propagation
Optical responses in materials
Semiclassical model of optical transitions in an atom
Low-dimensional semiconductor nanostructures
Periodic layered and photonic crystal band nanostructures
Composite nanostructures
Epsilon-near-zero metamaterials
Soft matters and liquid crystals

Methods
Interactive lectures with regular student participation, homework exercises, take-home exam

Assessment and permitted materials
