Femtosecond studies of atoms, molecules, liquids, and solids (1p)
Indhold
We are offering a "cross-disciplinary (physics and chemistry)" C-course in the field of femtosecond laser physics and chemistry. The topics in the course include:
Fundamental aspects of ultrashort laser pulses
Formation and measurement of femtosecond laser pulses
Interaction between matter and light in the time domain
Examples of ultrafast processes
- Gas phase
- Liquids
- Surfaces and solids
Formation and use of ultrashort pulses with extreme wavelength
- Terahertz femtosecond pulses
- Femtosecond X-rays (high-harmonic generation, plasma generation)
Forudsætninger
An almost completed first part of Fys-Kem, Mat-Fys, Kem-Mat, or Fys-Dat.
Some basic knowledge of lasers - for instance corresponding to "A9 Laserkemi" or "Bf.5 Moderne optik og laserfysik."
Litteratur
To be decided.
Kursets form og omfang
Two hours of lectures and two hours of problem solving per week in F00. The evaluation is a pass/fail on the basis of participation in the class. In addition, each participant will give a short (20-30 min) oral presentation at the end of the course.
