Module

Voraussetzungen

Inhalte

Quantization of an electromagnetic field, examples for electromagnetic states, application of perturbation theory to the interaction of electromagnetic fields with matter, absorption, scattering and emission of photons, photoionization, interaction with x-ray light, relaxation processes, state lifetime, nonperturbative light-matter interaction, Floquet theory.

Lernziele

After successfully completing the module, students have acquired knowledge of quantum-mechanical description of light-induced processes. They have achieved a conceptual and quantitative understanding of microscopic processes behind interaction of atoms, molecules and materials with light. They know about modern ultrafast light-induced phenomena.
