Every spring semester

The course aims at providing knowledge about basic as well as advanced techniques for manipulating and controlling laser light and laser pulses. This involves controlling intensity, frequency distribution, temporal profiles in order to design advanced optical systems for specialised tasks in industry as well as research

•Light propagation in anisotropic materials
•Acousto-optical effects & modulators
•Electro-optic effects & modulators
•Non-linear light-matter interaction
•Ultrafast optics, pulse propagation of short pulses in dispersive non-linear media
•Two laboratory exercises: Non-linear optics, Ultrafast optics.
