Course description

Interaction between light and matters is one of the most basic and important issues, in the region of the phenomena, emission and absorption of light and nonlinear optical processes, and is fundamental in the region of optical science, such as spectroscopy, optical property and laser physics. Based on the lectures, "Wave physics", "Electrodynamics I, II", and "Quantum mechanics I, II ...", this lecture expand the classical treatment of the "light" to the quantum-mechanical treatment.

Expected Learning

The aim of this course is to understand interaction between light and matters, based on the classical oscillator model, semi-classical model and full quantum theory and to explain physically these optical concepts. Corresponding criteria in the Diploma Policy: See the Curriculum maps.
