Explores electromagnetic wave propagation, including Poynting vector, irradiance, dipole radiation, dielectric constant, and natural linewidth in atoms and radiation.
Explores atoms and radiation lineshapes, covering linewidths, lifetime broadening, and broadening mechanisms, including Lorentzian and Doppler effects.
Covers the basics of optical tweezers and their applications in microscopy, manipulation, and spectroscopy, as well as the alignment of molecules using laser pulses.
