Class Objectives
/Class Outline
This course focuses on fluorescence spectroscopy, one of the most fundamental spectroscopic techniques. In the first half of the course, we will discuss the theoretical background of fluorescence based on quantum mechanics. In the second half, we will introduce the fundamental characteristics of fluorescence spectroscopy as well as advanced topics related to its applications. The objectives of this course are as follows:
1. To develop a theoretical understanding of the interaction between light and molecules.
2. To acquire the fundamental principles of fluorescence spectroscopy.
3. To understand advanced applications of fluorescence spectroscopy in actual research.
 
Class Schedule Lesson 1: Review of fundamental quantum mechanics concepts necessary for understanding the interaction between light and molecules

Lesson 2: The harmonic oscillator and quantization of the electromagnetic field

Lesson 3: Quantum mechanical description of spontaneous emission

Lesson 4: Fundamental characteristics of fluorescence spectroscopy (steady-state and time-resolved measurements, fluorescence anisotropy, etc.)

Lesson 5: Advanced topics in fluorescence spectroscopy I (fluorescence resonance energy transfer, single-molecule measurements, etc.)

Lesson 6: Advanced topics in fluorescence spectroscopy II (fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, fluorescence sensing, etc.)

Review
Students are expected to review the lecture materials provided by the instructor before each class. After each lecture, students should review the content to reinforce their understanding. 
Requirements It is recommended that students have taken undergraduate-level courses in quantum mechanics or quantum chemistry. 
Grading Method Achievement of the course objectives will be evaluated based on the content of the report assignments submitted by the deadline. A passing grade will be granted if at least 60% of the report assignments are deemed to have been adequately answered.
