FSK3410 Laser Physics

MSc degree in physics or equivalent education.

Physical background of lasers. The laser cavity. The laser medium. Mode-controlled techniques. The properties of coherent laser light. The time- and spatial-dependent behavior of lasers.

After completing the course the student should be able to:

• demonstrate a thorough understanding of the theory of modern laser physics,
• describe in detail the inherent behavior and functionality of the many different types of modern lasers,
• describe the detailed properties of coherent laser light, and
• formulate reasonably complicated problems in laser physics and proved solutions to the same.
