Core content
  • An introduction to optics and optical measurements
  • Advanced presentation of main techniques used in optical spectroscopy experiments, including steady state spectrophotometers and fluorimeters, and numerous time-resolved techniques such as femtosecond pump-probe and up-conversion, picosecond time correlated single photon counting, nanosecond flash photolysis and others.
  • An overview of methods used to analyze the results of spectroscopy measurements
  • Laboratory work: prepare samples, conduct the measurements, and analyze the results
  • Laboratory work: practical skills of using research grade spectroscopy instruments.
