Learning Objectives
Knowledge of:Interaction of radiation and atomic system. Propagation in anisotropic and/or dispersive media. Propagation of resonant field, coherent interaction. Laser equation. Continuous and pulsed behaviour. Non linear polarizations: second and third order effects. Frequency sum and difference generation. Theory and techniques. Kerr optical effects. Acustic- and electro-optic effects. Measures of temporal and spectral characteristics of optical pulses. High order harmonic generation. Use of theoretical competence for the treatment of the dynamic of medium in presence of E.M. field in infrared-visible and UV. Propagation and generation of e.m. field by means of laser sources and non linear processes. Experimental and practical limits of the studied methodology.Capability of the use of the acquired competence for the study of different argument of matter structure and optics (linear and non linear). Possibility of extension of the acquired competence.
