Tutorials and grading

Your total grade will be composed of the grades of 3 exercise sheets distributed along the semester and the grade of a 12-15 minutes long talk you'll give on a topic defined 2 weeks before the talk. Specifically, the talk presentation will make up 70% of your grade while the grades of your handed-in exercise sheets make up the remaining 30%.

The following topics of nanophotonics will be covered

  • Review of macroscopic electromagnetism, dielectric function, evanescent fields
  • Propagation, focusing, resolution and localization
  • Confined light: photonic crystals and optical microcavities
  • Confined matter: quantum effects on the electronic structure of matter
  • Dipolar interactions I: quantum emitters, single photon sources
  • Dipolar interactions II: weak and strong coupling, photonic density of states
  • Dielectric nanocavities I: Mie modes
  • Dielectric nanocavities II: bound states in the continuum
  • Molecular sensing
  • Plasmonics I: propagating surface plasmons
  • Plasmonics II: localized surface plasmons and optical antennas
  • Metamaterials and metasurfaces

In addition, selected topics of current research will be discussed.
