Outline and Purpose of the Course	Basic knowledge of electromagnetics, photonics, and quantum mechanics is essential to understand the electromagnetic energy which is widely used from fundamental physics to industry. In this lecture basic properties of electromagnetic energy will be described in terms of electricity and magnetism, in which an introduction to the laser theory will be also given. Background knowledge of electromagnetics and quantum mechanics is not required.
Course Goals	Through this lecture students will acquire the basic understandings of fundamentals for electromagnetic energy, which will be a good starting point to comfortably utilize various kinds of analysis equipment based on the principles of electricity and magnetism, and lasers and optics.
Schedule and Contents	Basics of electromagnetics [6 weeks] Maxwell’s equations will be described to understand classical electromagnetic energy as a wave. Basics of quantum mechanics　[2 weeks] Most basic concepts of quantum mechanics such as energy level structure, wavefunctions, and state transition will be provided for the quantum mechanical understandings of interactions between electromagnetic energy and matter. Principles of lasers [6 weeks] Formation of population inversion, interactions between two-level-atom and light, light amplification, optical resonator, and finally laser oscillation will be described using classical as well as quantum mechanical pictures.
Evaluation Methods and Policy	Evaluation will be based on the scores of assignments (which include attendance and short reports) and the final report to be given at the end of the course.
Course Requirements	None
Study outside of Class (preparation and review)	Students should finish assignments given in the class.
