The module phy632 Spectrophysics is uosually offered during the winter semester. Exceptionally please visit 5.04.4650 Seminar: Femtosekunden-Spektroskopie next summer semester plus 5.04.6611 Seminar: Advanced Optical Spectroscopy (offered each semester) to complete the module. It is recommended to take 5.04.4651 Vorlesung: Fouriertechniken in der Physik this semester.

Students gain in depth theoretical as experimental knowledge on advanced optical spectroscopy applied to atomic and molecular systems. They are qualified in setting up innovative methods and measurement devices based on their expert competence in up-to-date research and development areas. The course prepares the students to work in the field of optical science and engineering in general, and yields the base for all further specialisations within the field of optics and laser technology.

Content:
Atomic structure and atomic spectra, molecular structure and molecular spectra, emission and absorption, width and shape of spectral lines, radiative transfer and transition probabilities, elementary plasma spectroscopy, experimental tools in spectroscopy, dispersive and interferometric spectrometers, light sources and detectors, laser spectroscopy, nonlinear spectroscopy, molecular spectroscopy, time resolved spectroscopy, coherent spectroscopy
