When: 21-25/10/2017
Where: CEITEC VUT Brno

Topic

The school will focus on fundamentals of optical response of bulk materials and layered systems. The school consists of two parts:

21-22/10/2017 Introductory lectures

The introductory lectures will be devoted to the optical properties from THz range to ultraviolet; information obtainable from the grazing-incidence reflectivity of X-rays will also be discussed.

23-25/10/2017 Advanced lectures

Advanced lectures will cover important aspects of the optical spectroscopy of layered structures exhibiting plasmon resonances, exploitable in biosensing. A special lecture on traceable metrologic procedures of thin-film parameter determination will be included. Experimental procedures using transmittance, reflection and ellipsometry will be covered.
