PHYS 725 - Laser Physics (3 units)
Laser operation, pumping mechanisms, resonators, optical coherence, photon statistics, non-linear optics, laser applications.
Grading Basis: Graded
Units of Lecture: 3
Offered: Every Fall - Odd Years
Student Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
1. explain the basic physics of lasers such as the concept of atomic energy levels, spontaneous emission and stimulated emission, optical gain, and threshold condition for lasing.
2. describe laser beam properties (Gaussian beams, the concept of optical coherence, including temporal coherence and spatial coherence).
3. relate the principles of lasers to other physics subjects.
