Synopsis:

General physical principles of interaction of electromagnetic waves with matter are used to explain specific methods of generation detection etc. in the wide spectral region ( from x-ray to infrared).

Requirements:

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Theory of electromagnetic radiation in free space. Spectral regions: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, x-rays, gamma.

2. The matter as a set of quantum systems (atoms, ions, molecules). Frequency of quantum transition. Description of interaction for various spectral ranges. Resonant interaction. Non-resonant interaction. Photon.

3. Detecrion principles. Model of single atom detector. Two basic principles of electromagnetic wave generation (non-uniform motion of charged particles, quantum transitions).

4. Propagation in matter. Scattering by quantum systems (Rayleigh, Thomson, Raman). Scattering and absorption in bulk material. Transmission. Dispersion. Poarizaability of dielectric. Index of refraction. Comlex index of refraction. Evanescent waves.

5. Fluorescence (pumping methods, spectral properties, time characteristics.

6. X-rays. Principle generation and spectral properties (Synchrotron, plasma, cosmic sources, x-ray lasers).

7. Soft x-rays, absorption, ionization, principles of small objects imaging.

8. Diffraction. X-ray metorlogy
