| Outline and Purpose of the Course | Lectures covering the basic aspects related to the operational mechanism of the laser, a coherent light wave oscillator, specifically, the amplification of light by sustained emission, the characteristics of optical resonators, analysis of oscillation operation, and finally an overview of various laser devices. | |||
| Course Goals | Cultivate an understanding of the fundamental operating principles of lasers underpinning the basic concepts of quantum electronics. | |||
| Schedule and Contents |
Overview of laser engineering, 1 session This session will describe the historical development of quantum electronics and the significance of laser technology, and establish the role of the course. Basic physics of lasers, 3-4 sessions These sessions will discuss the interaction between matter and electromagnetic waves, specifically, the theory of absorption, emission, and amplification of light by sustained emission, as a basis for understanding the operation of laser technologies. Laser operation analysis, 5-6 sessions These sessions will discuss Q-switched lasers and mode-locking as special examples of laser operation in addition to fostering understanding of laser oscillation conditions and the operation of multi-level systems. Laser optical resonators and Gaussian beams, 3-4 sessions These sessions will discuss the various types and characteristics of resonators required for laser oscillators and procedures for the analysis of Gaussian beam propagation as a laser beam. Laser devices, 1 session This session will provide an overview of the characteristics of laser devices using various laser media such as gases, liquids, solids, and semiconductors, and also discusses the engineering fields that utilize these characteristics. Confirmation of learning achievement, 1 session Confirm (evaluate) achievement of the learning objectives of the course. |

| Evaluation Methods and Policy | A report evaluation will be conducted at the end of the term to evaluate students’ level of understanding. A passing score is 60 points or higher out of a possible 100 points. In addition, report tasks will be assigned as needed to improve understanding, but these will not be directly added to a student’s course score. | |||
| Course Requirements | Optics 1, Electromagnetics | |||
| Study outside of Class (preparation and review) |
Review of course material is recommended as lectures are designed for note-taking. Lasers are everyday devices. It is hoped that studying topics and areas of practical interest, such as application examples, will help lead to understanding of the basic content of the lecture. |
