289645 Fundamentals of efficient photonic devices for energy conversion (V+S) (SoSe 2015)

Nanoscale structures and devices play an increasingly important role, both in the efficient generation of light and the conversion of light to electronic signals. Applications such as LED lighting, nanoscale laser emitters, and new efficient solar cell designs rely on fundamental physical phenomena such as light scattering in ordered and disordered media, resonance enhanced light-matter interaction, and charge carrier dynamics and transport on the nanoscale. In this lecture we will cover both the fundamentals of these underlying phenomena and the discussion of recent achievements in the field of nanophotonics, such as disorder induced light trapping, quantum nanodot based emitter and absorber materials, perfect absorbers, and nanoscale lasers.

Dates and locations for the lectures will be settled on Monday, 13 April 2015, 15:00 hrs in seminar room D4-258
