FYS-6656 Photonic Materials, 5 cr

Implementation FYS-6656 2019-01

Description

The course highlights the important role that materials play in modern photonic technologies. It covers light-matter interactions in disordered (photonic glasses), partially ordered (liquid crystals), and ordered (crystalline) materials, as well as in periodic and nanostructured materials, elaborating on the most important use cases of the different materials classes in photonics. The course comprises lectures (13x2h), exercise assignments (~6x2h), 2 laboratory works, and a presentation on a selected topic.
