The femtosecond time-scale is relevant for a number of fundamental processes in physics, chemistry and biology. This time scale is now accessible to experiments through the advent of short-pulse lasers. The aim is to provide the students with an understanding of the possibilities of femtosecond time-resolved investigations.
The student is expected to participate actively in the problem-solving classes.
In the course, we will teach the basic properties of femtosecond lasers on a level that allows for an understanding of experiments. The main focus of the course is on the application of femtosecond time-resolved techniques in physics and chemistry. Through a number of examples, picked to represent a reasonably broad scope of methods and fields, we will learn about the complimentary kind of information that time-resolved studies can provide.
At the end of the course, the student should be able to:
Some basic knowledge of lasers, for instance corresponding to "Ak.9 Laserkemi" or "Laserfysik (Bf.25)".
Peter Balling (Physics) and Henrik Stapelfeldt (Chemistry).
4 (or 3) hours of lectures and 3 (or 4) hours of problem solving per week. The two elements are closely connected and the relative weight will depend on the subject currently being taught. High priority is given to the student presentations at the end of the course.

The evaluation is based on small written exercises through the course and the 20-25 minute oral presentation on an assigned subject in the evaluation period following the course. The presentation is given in front of the class. Grading according to the Danish grading scale (the 7-point scale).
