Skills to be acquired in this module | Fluiddynamik Fouriertechniken in der Physik The students know the definition of the Fourier-Transformation (FT) and learn about explicit examples. They know the properties and theorems of the FT, are able to apply these and describe physical processes both in time and frequency domain. They gain deep insights about physical processes analyzing the frequency domain and are able to utilize Fourier techniques solving physical problems, e.g. finding solutions of the time dependent Schrödinger equation. In addition, they learn about examples of the current english physical literature. Photonics Starting from basics, the module yields advanced knowledge of the physics of lasers, of optical radiation with matter, optoelectronic principles and components as, e.g. laser beams, different laser types, light emitters, detectors, modulators. The students acquire skills in working with lasers and optoelectronic components. |
