Description: This course covers the principles, methods, and applications of optical spectroscopy, as well as the physics of optical processes in semiconductor-, metal-, and carbon-based nanomaterials. Basic characteristics of transmission, reflection, absorption, emission, and scattering spectroscopy, from the far-infrared to the ultraviolet, are examined, while the fundamental physics of charge and spin excitations in nanostructures are discussed. Topics covered include: optical responses of low-dimensional materials; optical properties of excitons, phonons, and plasmons; ultrafast dynamics; electro-optics and magneto-optics; nonlinear optics; quantum coherent phenomena; optical orientation and manipulation of spins; and many-body effects in optical processes.
