PHYSICS OF THE MATTER + OPTICS
(objectives)
MATTER PHYSICS: THIS MODULE AIMS AT PROVIDING A KNOWLEDGE OF THE MAIN PROPERTIES OF THE MATTER: OPTICAL, ELECTRICAL, MAGNETIC AND CONDUCTION PROPERTIES, WITHIN A SEMICLASSICAL INTERPRETATION. DURING THE COURSE, THE PROPERTIES STUDIED WILL BE APPLIED TO BASIC PRINCIPLES OF SOME DEVICES.
OPTICS: THIS MODULE PROVIDES THE STUDENTS WITH TOOLS FOR DEALING WITH DIFFRACTION AND PROPAGATION OF OPTICAL FIELDS, WHICH ARE AT THE BASIS OF OPTO-ELECTRONIC AND PHOTONIC APPLICATIONS. IN SUCH A CONTEXT, IT INTRODUCES AND DEVELOPS THE CONCEPT OF OPTICAL COHERENCE AND PRESENTS SUITABLE TECHNIQUES FOR SOLVING PROPAGATION PROBLEMS IN VACUO AND IN MATERIALS.
