Laser Colloquium - 141422

The laser col­lo­qui­um con­sists of a weekly event, where re­now­ned spea­kers from aca­de­mia and in­dus­try will pre­sent an ad­van­ced in­tro­duc­tion to their re­se­arch areas. The goal is to get ac­quain­ted with va­rious hot to­pics around laser tech­no­lo­gy.

Summer Semester

Mid-IR and Terahertz Photonics -141425

The lecture starts with a description of the major approaches for mid-infrared (wavelengths of 2-20µm) light generation including fundamentals for each technique. The techniques covered are ion-doped solid-state lasers, fiber lasers, semiconductor lasers, and laser sources based on nonlinear optical frequency conversion. Then we review a range of applications: spectral recognition of molecules and trace gas sensing, biomedical and military applications, high-field physics and attoscience. In the second part of the lecture, longer wavelengths in the so-called Terahertz domain (wavelengths from 20µm up to millimeters) are discussed following a similar structure to the above.

Master-Project Optics Fundamentals (LAP PO 2024) -142270

The stu­dents re­cei­ve in­for­ma­ti­on ma­te­ri­al about the fun­da­men­tal work flow in op­ti­cal la­bo­ra­to­ries and data ana­ly­sis in Python. In three ex­pe­ri­ments the gained know­ledge of the stu­dents is tested and fu­ther­mo­re ap­p­lied to two op­ti­cal set­ups and some data.
The prac­tical ex­pe­ri­ments are the ali­gnment of a sin­gle mode fiber cou­pling setup and a Mi­chel­son in­ter­fe­ro­me­ter. In the Python ex­pe­ri­ment data in­ter­po­la­ti­on and Fou­rier trans­form are in the focus of the ex­er­cise.

Master-Project Advanced Optics 1 -142262

It will be wor­ked on a topic re­la­ted to cur­rent re­se­arch ac­tivi­ties. Ex­em­pla­ry to­pics are se­mi­con­duc­tor la­sers, spec­trosco­py and spin-op­to­elec­tro­nics. The pro­ject takes place as block cour­se on ap­point­ment.

Winter Semester

Ultrafast Laser Physics and Technology -141424

The lecture starts with the fundamentals how to mathematically describe an electromagnetic pulse in the time- and frequency domains, and continues to describe how linear and nonlinear effects, as well as different technologically relevant combinations of effects affect them. Afterwards, different methods to measure and characterize pulses and pulse trains aswell as generation of ultrashort pulses are discussed.

Numerical Photonics in Python - 141482

The goal is to use the Py­thon pro­gramming lan­gua­ge to solve com­mon every-day tasks that arise in Pho­to­nics. Sol­ving pro­blems using pro­gramming is the main focus of the lec­tu­re and all tasks will re­qui­re it.
