| Outline and Purpose of the Course | This course covers the dynamic physical phenomena caused by the interaction of light and matter. First, there will be a seminar in a round-reading format using textbooks on optical physics to present basic knowledge. We will make full use of cutting-edge light sources (e.g., femtosecond and picosecond pulse lasers and terahertz light sources) and proceed with research using the optical observation and analysis methods optimal for materials and phenomena. Specific themes will be decided through discussions with faculty members. | |||
| Course Goals |
* Basic expertise and experimental techniques related to optical physics * Acquire the foundation for conducting research in physics |
|||
| Schedule and Contents |
1. Seminars (about 20); Koichiro Tanaka: The text is Optical Properties of Solids (Oxford University Press) by Anthony Mark Fox. Students will learn the basics of optical physics and quantum optics using a part of another textbook of the same author. 2. Preliminary experiments (about 2); Koichiro Tanaka: Students will learn basic optical measurements. 3. Main experiment (entire latter half); Koichiro Tanaka, Nobuko Naka, Takashi Arikawa: From the following research topics, select a theme through discussions with faculty members and conduct experiments: development of and spectroscopic research on new laser light sources, dynamics of quasi-particles generated in semiconductors by light, photoinduced phase transition phenomena in which macroscopic physical properties change greatly through interaction with light, excitation state dynamics in two-dimensional materials, ultrafast optical phenomena. |
