Photonics Review
Number of ECTS credits: 6
Course Classification: Science, Technology, and Engineering
Course description:
The overview of basic principles, goals and role of photonics in modern technology is presented. The course is designed to give the students a general understanding of the photonics role for modern society, mechanisms allowing to control light-matter interaction and main directions of the application of light-based technologies. The medicine, telecom, sensoring, manufacturing and several other applications of light will be addressed and the advantages achieved in these fields will be explained.

Resonances and Light-Matter Interactions
Number of ECTS credits: 6
Course Classification: Science, Technology, and Engineering
Course Description:
The course will provide a graduate level overview of modern concepts of light-matter interaction and the variety of applications of the photonic resonances in modern science and technology. The class will emphasize the use of different theoretical approaches in description of the photonic resonances and will give as well the understanding of the major role of the concept of the resonance in physics.
The course will rely on strong undergraduate math/electrodynamics background of the students, however some basics concepts will be remind to facilitate the understanding of the program.
In particular, the topics will include:
Introduction (to be made coherent with other lectures).
Concept of resonance. The oscillator, mechanical model, external force, displacement, phase, frequency dependence near the resonance.
Nonlinear oscillator. Classical pendulum. Dependence of the period on the amplitude, multiple harmonics.
Coupled oscillators. Frequency splitting. Lattice of the oscillators.
Classical electrodynamics (Electrostatics, effective parameters, maxwells eqs)
Metallic particle in electric field (plasma frequency, Drude’s formula, skin layer, plasmons)
Separation of scales in nanoparticles
Examples of electromagnetic resonances: Plasmon of sphere and dimmers. Electromagnetic fields distributions near the resonances. Stacked structures. Plasmonic resonance (electrostatic approximation)
Metallic sphere
Metallic dimers
Metamaterials (Examples; applications, provide explanation that in this case effective parameters approach is not relevant, nonlocal magnetism, nanolasers-spasers, review of experimental results)
Basics of quantum plasmonics.
Hyperbolic metamaterials
MC, PCS, WGM structures general similarities, some experimental figures.
Theory of the resonances. Scattering matrix concept. Poles of the scattering matrix, resonant vectors. Simple examples.
Interaction with nanostructures (1): light emission of isolated nano-object embedded in resonant structure, nano-antennas.
Controlling of light emission by design of nano-antennas.
Interaction with nanostructures (2): interaction of the resonances with an ensemble of nanoobjects, polariton formation, weak and strong coupling. Exciton polaritons, plasmons.
Introduction to nonlinear effects, reference to other lectures.
Intended Learning Outcomes:
Understand the basic properties of resonances
Main principles of modern photonics
Compare available methods and computational tools in terms of their similarities and differences as well as their strengths and limitations.
Apply fundamental knowledge about electrodynamics and solid state physics to the problems of photonics.
