Course description and aims
In this advanced lecture on optical materials, we will study functional materials and optical components, primarily focusing on the interaction between materials and light, with a primary emphasis on inorganic materials. The course commences with a comprehensive review of phenomena from the interaction of light and matter, including refraction, reflection, absorption, and scattering. Additionally, we will explore the operational principles underlying optical elements such as optical waveguides and resonators, while elucidating the requisite physical properties and characteristics expected of the materials employed in these components. Beyond commonly utilized oxides, our discussion will encompass an array of inorganic materials including chalcogenides, halides, heavy-metal oxides, and rare earth-doped materials, providing detailed insights into their unique attributes and optical applications.
Student learning outcomes
By taking this course, students will acquire the following knowledge and abilities.
1) Interaction between electric field and inorganic materials and its relation to optical constants of materials
2) Structure and properties of various optical materials such as oxides, sulfides, and halides
3) Principles of operation of optical waveguides and optical resonators, and required material properties and applications
4) Relationship between lasers and material properties
