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 matter: quantum effects on the electronic structure of matter
  • Nanophotonic materials systems, localized surface plasmons
  • Molecular sensing
  • Metamaterials and metasurfaces
  • Weak and strong coupling, photonic density of states
  • Dielectric nanocavities I: Mie modes
  • Dielectric nanocavities II: bound states in the continuum
  • Confined light: photonic crystals and optical microcavities
  • Quantum emitters, single photon sources

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