Sustainable Development Goals
Abstract/Objectives
Optics is divided into two parts: classical optics and quantum optics. The course begins by teaching classical optics, including geometric optics, matrix methods, resonators, interference and diffraction, and Fourier optics. In the latter half, quantum optics is taught, covering photon statistics, quantum and classical light, quantum entanglement, quantum communication, and quantum teleportation. In addition to classroom lectures, computer simulations of various optical phenomena are provided, and the course is integrated with optical laboratory experiments.
Results/Contributions
Students acquire both basic and advanced optical knowledge, and use computer simulations to draw images of various optical imaging processes, which are then combined with experiments to verify optical theories. Additionally, we guide students to further engage in specialized research, particularly in the field of quantum optics, covering topics such as single-photon generation, photon correlation timing measurements, nonlinear optics, and laser resonator fabrication.
