Bachelor Engineering Physics, 4 th or 5 th semester
form/time: Lecture: 2 hrs/week
Workload: Attendance: 28 hrs
Self study: 62 hrs
CP: 3
Prerequisites acc. syllabus
Recommended prerequisites: Basics of optics, (basics of laser physics)
Aim: Starting from their basic knowledge of optics, the students do learn
the special aspects of optics on ultrashort time scales which do not
play a role in standard optics. The module yields a basic knowledge
of the physics of femtosecond light pulses and their interaction with
matter, as well as the technology of femtosecond lasers.
Content: Linear and non-linear optics of ultrashort pulses such as: amplitude,
phase and spectral phase of the electric field, chirp, phase and group
velocity, dispersion, pulse compression, self focusing, self phase
modulation, frequency conversion, multi photon effects;
femtosecond laser pulse generation with various schemes,
measurement of ultrashort pulses
Assessment: 1 hr written final examination
Media: black board, power point, practical work in the laboratory
Literature: Rullière: Femtosecond Laser Pulses (Springer); Diels, & Rudolph:
Ultrashort Laser Pulse Phenomena (Academic Press)
