Preparation: Fundamentals of optics and quantum mechanics
Form of Testing and Examination: Credit points can be obtained after successful carrying out the experiments and preparing a written report on selected experiments
Length of Course: 1 semester
Aims of the Course: The students learn to handle optical setups and carry out optical experiments. This will prepare participants both for the successful completion of research projects in experimental quantum optics/photonics and tasks in the optics industry.
Contents of the Course:
Practical training in the field of optics, where the students start their experiment basically from scratch (i.e. an empty optical table). The training involves the following topics:
diode lasers
optical resonators
acousto-optic modulators
spectroscopy
radiofrequency techniques
Recommended Literature: Will be given by the supervisor
