| Basics in wave and corpuscular optics. Coherent Optics and Polarization | |
| Course Objectives | |
| The aim of this teaching is to cover the physics of lasers quite a bit: the operating principle of lasers, studies of the main lasers. | |
| Syllabus | |
| -Repeats of atomic physics (energy levels ...). Einstein's coefficients and the three processes of light-matter interaction. Optical amplification: population inversion, pumping threshold. Optical properties - Notions of Gaussian optics. Time properties of lasers - Q switch operation and mode locked working The main lasers (gas lasers, solid lasers, semiconductor lasers) |
|
| Practical work (TD or TP) | |
| Experiments performed by students in practical works (diode pumped solid laser, fiber laser) | |
| Acquired skills | |
| Principle of operation of lasers. Performance of the best known and most used lasers. |
