1. |
Outline |
|
Students will learn the followings in this course, (1) Theory of image formation and imaging optical systems (2) Physics of optical excitation and luminescence in solids (3) Quantum theory of light and their statistical behavior (4) The mechanism of light detectors (5) Fluorescence imaging (6) Multi-photon imaging. This course is in accordance with diploma policy #2.

2. |
Objectives |
|
The history of imaging technology has started as an attempt to imitate human vision using optoelectronics. However, mankind's increased scientific knowledge and gaining control over light and matter lead the technology goes far beyond the range of what humans can see. Today new imaging techniques that more fully exploit the quantum nature of light and electrons in solids are available. We have solid state single photon imagers that detects a single quantum of light and 3-dimensional multi-photon imaging systems that achieve high depth resolution via multiple photon absorption in a restricted high field region. They are becoming prevalent in the research works of many different scientific disciplines. In this course we shall learn the basic quantum physics of light and the electrons in solids and the device mechanics that will enable us to understand and fully utilize those new imaging technologies.
