Prerequisites:
None

Academic preconditions:
Bachelorfs degree in Physics, Mathematics, or Chemistry must be passed.

Course introduction
The course is divided into three parts: The first part introduces technical spectroscopy, mainly related to engineering and materials science problems (3 ECTS). The second part is concerned with applications of spectroscopic techniques to the investigation of fundamental, interface-related biological, photonics and biophotonics problems (4 ECTS). The third part focuses on methods and technologies of spectroscopies in the domain of chemical problems related to mesoscopic materials (2 ECTS).

Expected learning outcome
After the course the students should be able to:

œ Explain the basic principles of modern spectroscopic techniques
œ Make a proper selection of the method (-s) to study specific phenomena
œ Evaluate the applicability and estimate possible errors for different optical and spectroscopic methods
œ Argue for specific characteristic properties of mesoscopic systems

Subject overview
Part 1: Optical thin film characterization via ellipsometry and infrared reflection spectroscopy; Raman techniques: non-resonant, resonant, surface-enhanced, confocal; optical tweezers; holographic and interferometric techniques; application to materials science problems in the surface domain (wear, lubrication etc.).
Part 2: Single- and multiphoton fluorescence spectroscopy; confocal microscopy; fluorescence correlation spectroscopy; time-resolved luminescence spectroscopy; coherent anti Stokes Raman spectroscopy; four-wave mixing; attenuated total internal reflection spectroscopy; application to biological and biophotonical problems at interfaces.
Part 3: Electron spin resonance; nuclear magnetic resonance; Fourier Transform Infared spectroscopy; X-ray diffraction; electron microscopy; application to mesoscopical-oriented chemical problems.
