Prerequisites
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.
Module contents
Fluiddynamics I
Base equations: Navier-Stokes equations, continuity equation, Bernoulli’s law;
Vortex and energy equations
laminar flow and analysis of stability
exact solutions and applications

Fluiddynamics II
Reynolds' turbulence
Closure problems and approaches
models of turbulence, principles of CFD,
Cascade models – stochastic models

Fouriertechniken in der Physik
Motivation: Applications of the FT in physics. Examples for Fourier paires, properties of the FT: symmetries, important theorems, shifting, differentiation, convolution theorem, uncertainty relation. Examples concerning the convolution theorem: frequency comb, Hilbert transformation, autocorrelation function. Methods of the time/frequency analysis and Wigner distribution. FT in higher dimensions: tomography. Discrete FT, sampling theorem. Applications in quantum mechanics.

Photonics
Fundamentals of lasers (optical gain, optical resonator, laser beams), laser types, laser safety;
electronic bandstructures in matter, semiconductor junctions, radiation laws, light emitting diodes, photodetectors, solar cells.
