Department of Optics and Laser Physics
Introduction of Optics-Laser Physics Department
Starting from the concepts of classical optics, Optics, Light and Lasers introduces in detail the phenomena of linear and nonlinear light matter interaction, the properties of modern laser sources, and the concepts of quantum optics. Optics - Laser Physics is a rapidly developing field of research with applications in all science. For instance, novel optical devices, like super-resolution microscopes and optical tweezers allow the manipulation of microscopic objects in biology and medicine. Quantum optics deals with processes and phenomena where the quantum states of the electromagnetic field are of central relevance. Optical communication is any type of communication in which light is used to carry the signal to the remote end, instead of electrical current. Optical communication relies on optical fibers to carry signals to their destinations. A modulator/demodulator, a transmitter/receiver, a light signal and a transparent channel are the building blocks of the optical communications system. Frequency combs and optical atomic clocks set new standards in precision measurements.
In this Department you will learn the fundamental physics of such devices. You will learn about ray and wave optics, learn to identify aberrations in optical systems and to describe resolution limits in microscopy. Also you learn Nonlinear Optics, Photon Optics, Statistical Optics and Fourier Optics. You will also learn the working principle of a laser and its applications. Furthermore, you will discuss modern optics applications, like the ones mentioned above.
The Department will provide students with the theoretical background of optics and laser physics, give practical information for the work in the lab, as well as hands-on lab experience.
Since the establishment of the faculty of physics, optics-laser physics has been very active research field as a subdivision of the Department of Atomic and Molecular Physics. Since 2021, the Department of optics-laser Physics has been established as a new department of the Faculty with seven academic staff including three professor, four associate professor. At the moment, tens of graduate students are studying in different subjects such as Quantum Optics, Optical Spectroscopy, Solar Cell, all optical Switching, Nonlinear optics based on Liquid crystals, optical sensors and photonic crystals. in the M.Sc. and Ph.D. programs. Also, a few postdocs are doing research in the Department. The Department is equipped with a few educational and advanced research labs: Optics Lab, Lase Lab, Advance Lase Lab, Photonic Device Lab. The academic staff of the group are doing research in various analytical, numerical and experimental fields related to optics-lase physics and technology and have extensive links and joint projects with other national and international researchers and each year they publish many valuable papers in the national and international journals.
