Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. Have knowledge of the basic phenomena of physical optics: interference, diffraction,
polarization, dispersion, luminescence.
2. Have knowledge of atomic physics, quantum mechanics and electrodynamics:
Maxwell and Schrödinger equations, transition probabilities, quantum mechanical
oscillator, systematics of energy levels.
3. Have basic knowledge of the special course "Optical Spectroscopy" and
have skills in working with basic optical devices: telescope,
collimator, interferometer, spectrograph.
Course content
The special course examines the physical processes and methods of creating an inversion
active media, the principles of formation of laser radiation in the resonator,
the influence of the active medium, resonator and laser mode on the characteristics
laser radiation.
The curriculum consists of four sections (topics):
Topic 1. Principles of optical amplification and generation.
Topic 2. Optical resonators.
Topic Z. Types of lasers and methods of pumping them.
Topic 4. Modes of operation of lasers and laser systems.
