COURSE DESCRIPTION

Micro and Nano-Optics:
• Refractive and reflective Microoptics
• Diffractive Microoptics
• Tunable Microoptics
• Industrial Microoptics
• Fabrication Technologies
• Nanooptics (plasmonics and metamaterials)

Integrated Optics and Introduction to Quantum Optics:
• Fundamental principles of integrated optics
• Different integrated platforms: optical fibers, LiNbO3 wafers, Silicon wafers
• Single-photon optics
• Quantum states of light and their applications for quantum communications

Optical Instruments:
• Standard optical instruments: telescopes, microscopes
• Advanced microscopy: confocal, superresolution
• Interferometric instruments

Optical Sensors:
• Introduction on light detectors: types, noise, electronics
• Basic optical sensors
• Complex optical sensors: particle sensors, dimensional sensors (position, velocity, rotation)
• Fiber sensors : extrinsic and intrinsic, interferometric
• Spectroscopic sensors
• Polarimetric sensors

Optics in Industrial Environment:
• Industrial Photonics: Laser application industries industrial system setup, industrial laser systems, beam delivery systems, LMP (welding, cutting, drilling, additive manufacturing, engraving),
• Optics Design: design tools, transport fibers, apertures, optics bulk materials, optics surface and coating, thermal management, figure of merit, LMP beam delivery systems
• Quality and Maintenance: optics Testing, beam quality (aberration and scattering), predicted maintenance, optics cleaning, LMP quality, quality control using AI
• Radiation Safety: radiation distribution, hazard thresholds, laser classification, eye safety, safety equipment, hazard prevention, recycling
• Photonics Modelling: simple applied LMP modelling, radiation on metals (Drude model), laser processing dynamics

Medical Optics:
• Light propagation inside biological tissue (transport equation, diffusion equation, Monte Carlo model, diagnostic window, therapeutic optical wavelengths).
• Light-tissue interactions (Bioheat equation, Arrhenius equation, tissue ablation models).
• How the above allows understanding the role of laser and tissue parameters to tailor the spatial and temporal selectivity of diagnostic and therapeutic uses of laser light.
• Few of the most important diagnostic and therapeutic uses of laser light in medicine: optical coherence tomography, near-infrared spectroscopy, LASIK, portwine stain removal.
