Lectures:

• • Physics Seminar: “Modern Optics – Recent advances in nonlinear photonics and communications”
    (Hauptseminar, 2 SWS, Birgit Stiller et al., Wed, 14:00 - 16:00, SR 01.779; findet via Zoom statt, link erhältlich bei birgit.stiller@mpl.mpg.de)

Inhalt:

In this seminar we will cover the following topics:

• Supercontinuum generation: sculpturing of broadband light

• Light storage, slow light and electro-magnetic induced transparency - manipulating the speed of information transmission

• Attoscience: light-matter interaction with attosecond temporal resolution

• Experimental cavity optomechanics – interaction of light and vibration

• New waveguides for nonlinear optics, from PCFs to nano waveguide arrays

• Secure communications - hacking the (theoretically) 100%-secure communication channels

• Frequency combs: development & applications

• Silicon photonics – optical chips replacing electronic wires

• Optical waveform generation

• Optical fiber sensing – fast, green, efficient, high-precision sensing of the environment

• Frog and spider, crab and rabbit: techniques to characterize duration and phase of the shortest light pulses

• Nonlinear optical signal processing – harnessing nonlinear effects for advanced communications
