This is an introductory course on the foundations of optics and photonics. We will discuss the following topics, laying also focus on experiments related to them:* Light as an electromagnetic wave and its propagation in condensed matter
* Optical Spectroscopy
* Interference of optical fields: Interferometry and holography, coherence
* Waveguides
* Interaction light/matter: Optical oscillators (Laser)
* Nonlinear optics:
+ frequency doubling
+ parametric processes
