128 M.Sc. Physik Vertiefung „Optik”: Wahlpflichtmodul

628 M.Sc. Photonics: Wahlpflichtmodul

Vorlesung: 2 SWS

Übung: 1 SWS

• Surface-plasmon-polaritons;
• Plasmonics;
• Photonic crystals;
• Fabrication and optical characterization of nanostructures;
• Photonic nanomaterials / metamaterials / metasurfaces;
• Optical nanoemitters;
• Optical nanoantennas.

The course provides an introduction to the broad research field of nanooptics. The students will learn about different concepts which are applied to control the emission, propagation, and absorption of light at subwavelength spatial dimensions. Furthermore, they will learn how nanostructures can be used to optically interact selectively with nanoscale matter, a capability not achievable with standard diffraction limited microscopy. After successful completion of the course the students should be capable of understanding present problems of the research field and should be able to solve basic problems using advanced literature.
