pb411 - Application of Lasers and Optics (Complete module description)

Recommended prerequisites: Attendance: 56 hrs, Self study: 124 hrs

The students get a deeper knowledge in modern applications in the field of optics such as laser physics and technology, micro technology and/or x-ray optics. The students get a deeper knowledge in those
subjects such as fundamental physical processes of light-matter interaction, e.g. from the visible to the x-ray range, related optics and its applications, technological processes in micro technology, laser micro
machining etc.
A particular subject is to enable students to build advanced optical resonators that emit short and ultrashort laser pulses. They are trained to distinguish between the different laser types and designs
for industrial, and scientific purposes as well as consumer electronics. The students will additionally get a basic knowledge on beam guiding techniques and safety requirements.

The contents is related to alternating subjects All subjects: Basic interaction processes of light with matter, optical materials for different wavelength ranges and applications (including laser media), design of
particular systems (laser resonators, EUV- and/or x-ray optical systems, micro systems, applications of lasers and/or optics and/or micro technology in industry, science, and society.
The excursion to the fair "LASER World of PHOTONICS" in Munich is part of this course.
