| Outline and Purpose of the Course | By investigating the phenomena (light absorption, light scattering, light emission, etc.) induced by light irradiation on condensed matter, various information on electronic states can be extracted. In this exercise, after understanding how light and matter interact, we will conduct experiments on the optical response of bulk semiconductors and semiconductor quantum wells, and understand how quantum effects appear in their properties. | |||
| Course Goals |
Learn the basic methods of optical spectroscopy and investigate the optical response of semiconductors. Understand the basics of the interaction between light and matter, and consider the relationship with the experimental results. |

| Schedule and Contents |
Lecture 1: Guidance Lectures 2-14, 3rd period: Seminar using the text from "Optical Properties of Solids" (Oxford University Press) by Mark Fox Lectures 2-6, 4th and 5th period: Work on the following items as a preliminary experiment. 1. Learn the basics of optical spectroscopy (mechanisms and usages of light sources, spectrometers, and photodetectors). 2. Learn the basics of low temperature and vacuum technology. Lectures 7-14, 4th and 5th period: For your main experiment, work on the following items. 1. Measure the light absorption and emission of bulk semiconductors and semiconductor quantum wells to determine their optical properties. 2. Write an experiment report. Lecture 15: Following a presentation, students will be asked to explain and discuss their experiments and their results. Lectures 1 and 15: Naka and Arikawa Lectures 2-14: Arikawa |
