052545 - PHOTONICS [I.C.]
Obiettivi dell'insegnamento
The course is intended to provide students with the fundamentals to understand the emission and the detection of optical radiation. The physical principles of light matter interaction and their applications in the most important photonic devices will be extensively treated.
Risultati di apprendimento attesi
Lectures and exercise sessions will allow students to:
know and understand the physical processes at the heart of photonics devices
transfer the physical concepts to applications requiring the generation and detection of optical radiation
gain the capability of modeling photonics devices and their behaviour in engineering systems
develop the expertise to design photonics based applications and systems exploiting the knowlegde acquired in the course
Argomenti trattati
1. Introduction to Radiometry
Definition of radiometric quantities
Theorem of conservation of radiance
Lambertian sources
Radiance and irradiance of one optical image
Basic principles of photometry
2. Radiation detectors
Thermal detectors
Junction detectors (p-n and p-i-n photodiode, avalanche photodiode)
Photoconductive detectors
Charged-Coupled Devices (CCD) and CMOS
Noise in detectors
3. Introduction to quantum optics
Quantization of a single-mode field
Single mode quantum optics:
- the number states and the coherent states
Vacuum fluctuations and zero-point energy
Prerequisiti
Students are required to know the principles of Electromagnetism, Optics and Quantum mechanics. A solid mathematical background on calculus, ordinary and partial differential equations is required.
Modalità di valutazione
The assessment will be based on a written exam consisting of four questions. To pass the exam students are required to demonstrate the knowledge of the topics of course and the capibility to face problems dealing with generation and detection of light. Texts of previous examinations are available on the course website. An oral exam can be requested by students or teachers to complete the evaluation process.
