Title：Spectroscopic Techniques and Applications
Class Hours/Week: 2-1 Credit: 2 Category：Specialty
Prerequisites：
Physical Optics
Course objectives and basic requirements:
More specifically, the students will:
1. learn the fundamental concepts and physical mechanisms of spectroscopy;
2. master the basic structures and theories of spectral instruments, and learn how to design and build a spectral measurement system;
3. master the theories, instrumentations and applications of ultra-violet and visible spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, etc.;
4. learn the high sensitive, Doppler-free and time-resolved laser spectroscopy;
5. actively participate in the course experiments, to be trained for independent research and explorations.
Course introduction:
The course is designed for the graduate students to master the basic concepts and theories of spectrum and spectroscopic instrumentation. The students will also learn various types of spectroscopy and their applications, such as ultra-violet and visible spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, laser spectroscopy, etc.
Spectroscopy has been widely used in physics, chemistry, biology, medicine and military etc. The class of Spectroscopic Techniques and Applications will focus on the basic concept, mechanism and application of spectroscopy. The main contents include: (1) The fundamental knowledge of spectroscopy; (2) Spectroscopic instrumentation and its application to wavelength and intensity measurements; (3) Conventional spectroscopy, for example absorption and emission spectroscopy; (4) Laser spectroscopy, the methods to improve the measurement sensitivity and resolution.
