Class Objectives
/Class Outline
Basics of the optical response of matter and several major optical phemomena of solids (mostly semiconductor) will be lectured. The goal of the course is to become able to describe fundamental optical response of matter and explain thier physical pictrue.  
Class Schedule lesson1 Basics of optical response (1):Lightwave propagation and optical constants
lesson2 Basics of optical response (2):Harmonic oscillator, time and frequency domain, KK transformation
lesson3 Two-level electrons(1):Density matrix and optical Bloch equations
lesson4 Two-level electrons(2):Coherent response
lesson5 Two-level electrons(3):Relaxaion and steady state solutions
lesson6 Two-level electrons(3):Other important phenomena
lesson7 Discussions
lesson8 Semiconductor(1):Bloch state and optical transitions between Bloch states
lesson9 Semiconductor(2):Effective-mass approximation, impurity absorption, exciton
lesson10 Semiconductor(3):Quantum well
lesson11 Optical response of lattice (phonon)
lesson12 Coupled modes (polariton)
lesson13 Optical response of free carriers (plasmon)
lesson14 Introduction to nonlinear optics
