In PHOTONIC MATERIALS students will acquire knowledge about the propagation of light in materials and photonic structures as well as the optical properties that allow the light modulation. In particular:
- Acquire fundamental knowledge on light-matter interaction in the semi-classical model, as well as its limits of application.
- Acquire knowledge of the modulation of light through electro, magneto and acousto-optical effects in materials and its technological applications.
- Will acquire knowledge of the characteristics and fundamental properties of nanometric structures that lead to the fabrication of photonic crystals
LEARNING OUTCOMES
- To familiarise the student with the materials of interest in photonics and to provide the structures for understanding optical phenomena in matter.
- Achieve operational mastery of the models on which the interaction between radiation and matter is based.
- Describe satisfactorily the most outstanding optical effects in materials.
Semi-clasical theory o Light-matter interaction. Maxwell-Lorentz model. Maxwell-Schrödinger semi-clasical model.
Linear and nonlinear models of optical properties of materials. Permitivity and susceptibility. Tensorial character. Linear and nonlinear systems response. Crystalline and amorphous materials
Electro, Magneto and Acusto-Optics Effects. Crystallographic properties of electro, magneto and elasto-optical materials. EO, MO and AO modulators.

GENERAL
CG01 - Acquire the ability to perform team research work.
CG02 - Be able to analyze and synthesize.
CG03 - Acquire the ability to write texts, articles or scientific reports according to publication standards.
CG04 - Become familiar with the different modalities used to disseminate results and disseminate knowledge in scientific meetings.
CG05 - Apply knowledge to solve complex problems.
BASIC
CB6 - Possess and understand knowledge that provides a basis or opportunity to be original in the development and / or application of ideas, often in a research context
CB7 - Knowledge about how to apply the knowledge acquired and their ability to solve problems in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their area of study
CB8 - Ability to integrate knowledge and face the complexity of making judgments based on information that, being incomplete or limited, includes reflections on social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgments
CB9 - Ability to communicate conclusions and the knowledge and ultimate reasons that sustain them to specialized and non-specialized audiences in a clear and unambiguous way
CB10 - Learning skills allowing to continue studying in a way that will be largely self-directed or autonomous.
TRANSVERSAL
CE10 - Understand and assimilate both fundamental and applied aspects of the Physics of light and radiation.
CE11 - Acquire knowledge and mastery of the strategies and systems of transmission of light and radiation.
The contents will be held during class lectures, using audio-visual media and experimental demonstrations to complete the understanding of contents.
It will provide the student with written materials of the theoretical contents and appropriate references to each.
Seminar classes will be spent on problem solving and work presentations.
The student will have tutorial attention.
SCENE 2 (Contingency Plan in the Comments section)
If the measures adopted by the health authorities allow it, the expository and interactive classes will be developed in person or otherwise telematically (via Teams and Virtual Campus with audios, video, etc.), respecting the official class schedule approved by the center.
Tutorials may be face-to-face or online, and will require an appointment
SCENE 3 (Contingency Plan in the Comments section)
Teaching will be telematic and classes will be developed synchronously in the official class schedule (via Teams and). It may be that, for different reasons, some of the classes were developed asynchronously (via videos in Teams, audios in Virtual Campus, etc.) which will be communicated to students in advance.
Tutorials will be online and will require an appointment.
At the first opportunity, a continuous evaluation system based on solving exercises and carrying out proposed activities will be followed, preferably. Exceptionally, a final exam of the subject may be carried out.
In the second opportunity, the student must perform the final exam on the date set by the center.
In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the one set forth in the Regulations for the evaluation of student academic performance and the review of grades will apply.
Considering telematic teaching hours as "face-to-face" hours, the distribution of hours does not change.
-Study time / Personal work:
1.-Classroom hours:
-Expositive / Interactive: 30 hours
-Evaluation: 2 hours (examination)
2.-Non-presential hours:
-Personal work and other activities: 42 hours
-Tutorials: 1 hour
3.-Total student work: 75 hours
-It is recommended reviewing the basics Optics I and II
-It is recommended a daily study of the subject (theory and exercises) for proper monitoring and do not memorize the material but attend its understanding.
-It is recommended to study the subjects of EXPERIMENTAL TECHNIQUES IN PHOTONICS to experimentally develop some of the theoretical content exposed on Photonic Materials
-Make use of the recommended literature both theory and problems
-Make use of tutorials, preferably online, by appointment.
