Learning results:
This subject provides the student with a first approach to the field of nonlinear optics, and it deals with very relevant effects with an infinite number of
of applications in different branches of modern science. When taking this subject the student:
-You will master the methodology and acquire the basic structures for understanding nonlinear optical phenomena.
- You will operationally master the models and theories on which current Nonlinear Optics is based.
- You will acquire a satisfactory knowledge of basic nonlinear optical phenomena, and their most relevant applications.
All these competencies will be evaluated through continuous supervision, development of practical cases, student self-assessment systems, in addition to the exams stipulated on the official dates of the center.
This subject will be developed in sessions of master class and interactive seminars, using all media available to make the subject attractive and instructive for the student.
The seminar sessions will be devoted to solve exercises and / or exhibition of personal works.
The virtual classroom will be used as a platform to provide students support material for the study of matter and the
preparation of interactive sessions.
Discussion forums and / or consultation will be opened in the virtual classroom to complement face-to-face class and tutorials
Continuous assessment based on tests that have been developed either in person or through the virtual classroom or other telematic platforms.
Contact hours (physical or virtualy): 30
Non-contact hours of personal work: 44
Tutoring Hours: 1
Total hours of student work: 75
