Nanoscale Optical Microscopy and Spectroscopy

Credits: 3 (The course will be cancelled if less than five (5) students (NTU, NCU, NTHU and etc) are enrolled in this course.)

Lecturer:

Chi Chen (陳祺, RCAS), Jung-Chi Liao (廖仲麒 IAMS), Bi-Chang Chen (陳壁彰, RCAS), Jer-Shing Huang (黃哲勳, NTHU), Chia-Lung Hsieh (謝佳龍, IAMS)

Classroom:

505B, Interdisciplinary Research Building for Science and Technology, AS
中研院 跨領域大樓505B (Map No 8)

Class hour: Friday, 14:10-17:00

Course information :

The class offers an overview of the most up-to-date optical microscopy and spectroscopy techniques in nanoscale. Three main topics will be covered in the lectures; 1. Super-resolution for bioimaging 2. Plasmonics and near field optics. 3. Optical tracking and dynamics.

Students will learn the latest development in optical imaging and spectroscopy for their future research in nanomaterial and biology.

Scoring:

One written midterm
One final presentation and report.
