This course will cover nano-optical devices and transducers and their applications for manipulating light on the nanoscale. Interaction of light with nano-structures, thin-films, metallic nano-antennas has many potential applications. This course is intended to teach students the principals of nano-optics encountered in different applications. Therefore, this course can be of interest for students in many departments. In addition to homework and exams, individual projects will be assigned to students to apply their new knowledge of nano-optical systems in different applications
Course Content
This course contains; Theoretical foundations,Propagation and focusing of optical fields,Spatial resolution and position accuracy,Nanoscale optical microscopy,Near-field optical probes,Probe-sample distance control,Light emission and optical interactions in nanoscale environments,Quantum emitters,Dipole emission near planar interfaces,Photonic crystals and resonators,Surface plasmons,Forces in confined fields,Fluctuation-induced interactions,Theoretical methods in nano-optics.
