| Prerequisites: | Fundamentals of electromagnetics (e.g., as taught in the course of "Physics II"). |
| Target skills and knowledge: | This course explores the fundamentals of light-matter interaction and photonics phenomena. The course will also provide an introduction to practical photonic components and systems and provide an overview of applications of photonics in sensor systems dedicated to agrifood, environmental monitoring and biosensing. |
| Examination methods: | Oral exam. |
| Assessment criteria: | Knowledge of theory and the understanding of the applicative aspects of the discipline. Ability to apply the theoretical concepts to concrete cases. Ability to expose the concepts through appropriate terminology. |
| Course unit contents: | Principles of photometry and radiometry. Quantum nature of light: blackbody radiation and Planck law, photoelectric effect, Compton effect. Bohr atom, limits of Bohr model and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, introduction to quantum mechanics. Schrödinger equation, wavefunctions and solutions. Hydrogen and Hydrogen-like atoms, quantum numbers and atomic orbitals. Electronic configuration of groups in the periodic table. Molecules, rotational and vibrational transitions and spectra. Dye molecules. Quantum dots. Occupation of energy levels and Boltzmann distribution. Absorption, spontaneous and stimulated emission.
