Course Content (Syllabus)
Optical properties, optical materials, optical spectroscopy.
* Categories and applications of optical materials.
* Classical view of light and matter interaction: Complex dielectric function and optical parameters of semiconductors, metals, amorphous and molecular materials. Lorentz forced oscillator, Lorentz/Drude, Maxwell's equations in matter (dispersion relation, existence of longitudinal waves). Boundary conditions (Fresnel equations).
* Semiclassical dielectric function theory: Energy bands, quantum mechanical view of dielectric function, density of states, Kramers Kronig relations,
