MSC 470 - Optical Properties Of Materials

Institution:

University of Rochester

Subject:

Description:

The course concerns the aspects of the solid state physics of materials, which influence their optical properties. Semiconductors are emphasized, but metals and insulators are treated also. The physics of optical absorption, emission, reflection, modulation, and scattering of light is covered. Optical properties of electrons, phonons, plasmons, and polaritons are detailed. The optical properties of reduced dimensionality structures such as quantum wells are contrasted with those of bulk semiconductors.
