授業の目標 Course Objectives
The aim of this class is to gain fundamental concept of the light-matter interaction in atoms, molecules, and semiconductors. Particularly,
detection of the electron spin and the analysis of the data are learned with many practical examples in published papers．
到達目標 Course Goals
To master basic concept and knowledge of the laser spectroscopy in atoms and solids.
授業計画 Course Schedule
１. Introduction of the study on single spin in solids (1)： in order to motivate the learning of the laser spectroscopy, the cutting-edge study is
introduced．
２. What is spin?（4）： Concept of the electron and hole spins are explained with reviewing the quantum mechanics and laser．
３. Basics of band structure and strain effect（2）: Band structure of semiconductors are understood.
４. Transition probability and transition selection rules（1）:
５. Light polarization and its control（1） : To consider light polarization and its control by using Poincare sphere.
６. Light polarization and spin（2）: To learn the connection between polarization and spin by using Poincare and Bloch spheres.
７. Spin relaxation and spin decoherence（3）：To understand the concepts and the detection techniques with practical studies.
準備学習（予習・復習）等の内容と分量 Homework
2-hour review in each class is required and homework to solve problems is assigned several times during the course.
成績評価の基準と方法 Grading System
Final examination (50 %) and homework assignment (50 %).
