Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions

Content

Das Modul umfasst Grundlagen der modernen Optik, der Laserphysik, insbesondere der Ultrakurzpulstechnik sowie Anwendungen ultrakurzer Laserpulse. Im speziellen wird auf nichtlineare Optik, Fourieroptik, Faseroptik und Femtosekunden-Pulserzeugung, -Verstärkung und -Charakterisierung eingegangen. Anwendungen von ultrakurzen Pulsen in der Spektroskopie, Mikroskopie und Materialbearbeitung werden vorgestellt.

Learning Outcome

Nach erfolgreicher Teilnahme an diesem Modul ist der / die Studierende in der Lage die:

1. Die methoden der nichlineare Optik und Laserphysik zu verstehen und auf probleme der Erzeugung, Vesrtärkung und Charakterisierung ultrakurer Laserimpulsen anzuwenden.

2. Die Fourieroptik bei Problemen der optischen Abbildung und moderne Mikroskopie anzuwenden.

3. Die Ausbreitung ultrakurzer Lichtpulsen in Glasfasern zu verstehen.

4. Die verschiedene Methoden der zeitaugelösten Laserspektroskopie zu kennen.
