| Skills |
Knowledge |
Upon completing the course, students will possess the following skills. They are able to
- explain and summarize key models used to describe light-matter interaction and energy transfer on the nanoscale (k1/k2);
- describe and compare the properties of different nanoscopic tools and nano-lithography tools, identifying their unique characteristics and common underlying principles (k2);
- engage with current research topics in the field and discuss recent developments (k5).
|
During the course, students will acquire knowledge in the following areas and concepts of nanooptics:
- nanoscopic methods;
- energy transfer;
- scattering at nanostructures;
- field enhancement and applications;
- quantum confinement in semiconductors;
- nanolithography tools;
- photonic crystals;
- metamaterials;
- selected current research topics.
