Learning outcomes
Know - Physical mechanisms of spectral line broadening and methods of their elimination, including laser ones.
Basic equations describing coherent and multiphoton phenomena, the essence and basic approximations of the applied physical models; definitions of all physical quantities and
terms used; typical examples of applications of the phenomena and methods studied.
Be able to - Formulate the basic physical principles of the interaction of laser radiation with matter, carry out a mathematical description of the processes occurring when materials are irradiated with laser radiation.
Plan experimental studies using high-resolution spectroscopy methods, coherent and multiphoton laser spectroscopy.
Free communication on the physics of the interaction of laser radiation with atoms, molecules, crystals.
Independently select and apply physical models to interpret the results of experiments.
Form of study
Prerequisites and co-requisites
The applicant must first master the following disciplines within the scope of teaching at the physics faculties of classical universities:
• General physics. Optics. Atomic physics.
• Theoretical physics. Quantum mechanics.
• Special courses. Quantum electronics and laser physics. Nonlinear optics. Spectroscopy of atoms and molecules.
Course content
The special course examines the physical foundations and modern achievements of laser physics and spectroscopy.
The curriculum of the discipline consists of three sections (topics):
Topic 1. High-resolution laser spectroscopy.
Topic 2. Coherent laser spectroscopy.
Topic 3. Multiphoton and cascade processes.
The topics correspond to three content modules:
- module 1 - topic 1;
- module 2 - topic 2;
- module 3 - topic 3.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Teaching methods: lectures, practical classes, consultations.
Assessment methods and criteria
Assessment methods: module tests, essays, exam. The final grade is based on the intermediate grades of the module test (60%) and the exam (40%).
Semester assessment:
1. Modular test (6 points - 10 points).
2. Modular test 2 (6 points - 10 points).
Final assessment in the form of an exam (36 points - 60 points).
A student is not admitted to the exam if he / she scored during the semester
less than 24 points. The grade for the exam cannot be less than 36 points for
obtaining an overall positive assessment for the course.
