Course Overview

This course deals with the Photonics field based on spectroscopic
characterization of objects, molecules and materials with optical
properties. It introduces the laser as a source but also as a tool for
creating or modifying these properties. The notion of imagery is
exposed through micro-Raman, nano-Raman characterization or
micro-luminescence for mapping these objects.

Learning Achievement

Competence

Course prerequisites

- Students must have followed courses from the Master (Year 1) in
“Spectroscopy” and "Theory of chemical bond".

Grading Philosophy

> First session:

- Continuous evaluation (practical, written examination, oral
porject) (50% weight of overall mark),

- Final written exam (50% weight of overall mark).

>  Second Session (in case of failure):

- Written or oralll examination exam (50% weight of overall mark),
- Recall of the continuous evaluation (50% weight of overall mark).

Course schedule

The various aspects discussed in thiscourse will be illustrated
through applications such as information storage,lighting,
amplification, telecommunications and sensors.Two practical sessions
will allow students tounderstand the laser tool and develop a critical
eye on the experimentalconditions and validity of the data acquired.

Course type

> Lectures, tutorials and practicals. > 154 hours: - 51 contact hours (45 hours lectures/tutorials, 6 hours practicals insynchrotron national lab facilities). - 100 hours self-study. - 3 hours written assessment exam. > Written and oral assessment
