This MSc-level course is designed to prepare the students for a successful experimental MSc or PhD project in the area of modern ultrafast condensed matter physics and ultrafast photonics. This course will consist of two parts: the core lecture and a series of guest lectures.
The core lecture will cover the following topics:
- Principles of lasers
- Generation, characterization and propagation of ultrashort laser pulses
- Basics of nonlinear optics and nonlinear wave conversion
- Refresher on sold state physics: electronic bandstructure, phonons, density of states
- Principles of light-matter interaction: dielectric function and its equivalents (optical conductivity, refractive index and absorption coefficient) from classical and quantum mechanical principles
- Examples of ultrafast spectroscopy: time-resolved terahertz (THz) and attosecond spectroscopy
Parallel to the core lecture, a number of guest lectures by leading international scientists will be given, covering such topics as:
- Novel concepts in ultrashort pulse generation: fiber lasers and high-power disk lasers
- THz metrology
- Ultrafast photoacoustics
- Ultrafast magnetooptics
- Principles of vibrational spectroscopy
- Ultrafast photoemission and field emission spectroscopy
- Ultrafast science at large-scale facilities: Nonlinear THz spectroscopy of condensed matter systems with the free-electron laser at ELETTRA synchrotron facility (Trieste, Italy)
- Current status in attosecond science
Oral examinations will be held on request.
