Upon completing the course, students will possess the following skills. They are able to
- explain and summarize key models used in modern optics and photonics (k1/k2);
- describe and compare methods to coherently create, transport, modulate, and detect light (k2);
- understand the concepts of linear and nonlinear light-matter interaction (k2);
- engage with current research topics in the field and discuss recent developments (k4/k5).

During the course, students will acquire knowledge in the following areas and concepts of photonics:
- Fresnel diffraction;
- Fourier optics;
- photonic crystals;
- lasers;
- fiber optics;
- light detectors;
- nonlinear optics and optical switches;
- brief outlook into quantum optics: entangled photons, Purcell effect, Casimir effect, strong coupling, quantum cryptography.
