Description<\/h4>\n

\u200bYou will learn about the interaction of electromagnetic waves and photons with non-linear materials and applications. In the nanotechnology element you will learn about applications of physics at the nanoscale including graphene, thin films, and quantum dots. The module is taught by a combination of lectures and problem solving tutorials.<\/p>\n

Aims<\/h4>\n

1.To develop a knowledge and critical understanding in the areas Photonics and Nanotechnology including the origin and limitations of the associated laws.
\n2. To develop a knowledge and critical understanding of mathematical techniques associated with Photonics & Nanotechnology.
\n3. To develop analytical, numerical and computer based problem solving skills in the area of Photonics and Nanotechnology.<\/p>\n

Knowledge & Understanding<\/h4>\n

On successful completion of this module, you will be able to:<\/p>\n

1. Demonstrate a critical understanding of the laws and their origins in the area of Photonics and Nanotechnology.
\n2. Demonstrate competence in the specification of problems using the laws of physics applied to Photonics and Nanotechnology.
\n3. Demonstrate communication through written materials.<\/p>\n

Learning, Teaching and Assessment<\/h4>\n

The module is taught through a combination of lectures and tutorial classes.<\/p>\n

Interactive tutorial classes will prepare students for assessments through a series of problem-solving exercises with associated formative feedback.<\/p>\n

Assignment \u2013 An extended problem-solving exercise requiring a description and justification of methodology used together with the use of analytical and computational means to provide final solutions and a critical evaluation of the solution obtained.<\/p>\n

Exam \u2013 A series of questions demonstrating an understanding of the topic together with application to straightforward problems that can be solved using analytical means.<\/p>\n
