• 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
