Experimental Optics and Photonics

The lecture provides an overview of basic and applied aspects of optics and photonics relevant to modern research ranging from basic science to photonic technologies.

The knowledge you obtain in this lectures is extremely helpful if you plan to work in any quantum/atomic physics laboratory. It complements the contents of the "Advanced Atomic and Molecular Physics" lecture and the "Experimental Methods in Atomic and Molecular Physics" course taught in the summer semester.   

Knowledge of PEP1 to PEP5 is assumed, but not of the contents of the "Advanced Atomic and Molecular Physics" lecture.

The lecture will be closely aligned with the content of the "Fundamentals of Photonics" by Saleh and Teich.
