49783	Lecture	OS	10:30AM -11:50AM	TR	144 Loomis Laboratory	Clegg, R	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/22/07-12/07/07 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Optical Spectroscopy Lecture Section Info: OPTICAL SPECTROSCOPY. This is a course for students who want to acquire a more detailed molecular understanding of the interaction of radiation with molecular matter and molecular fluorescence. Both quantitative theory and experiments will be covered. The description of the experimental situations and data analysis for obtaining molecular information will be based on a solid theoretical setting that forms the framework for the course. The emphasis will be on biophysical experimental situations, using fluorescence and absorption measurements, stressing optical spectroscopic transitions involving molecular electronic and vibrational transitions. The basic interaction of the E&M field with the molecules will be covered mainly from a semi-classical point of view. The course will offer a laboratory section. Practical spectroscopy examples will demonstrate how to measure and interpret molecular properties from optical spectroscopy experiments. The course should be of interest to students with a broad range of backgrounds. Prerequisites: undergraduate courses in quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics or the consent of the instructor. Register for the OS LEC section and one of the OS1, OS2, OS3 LAB sections for a total of 4 hours credit or register for the OS LEC section only for 3 hours credit or register for one of the OS1, OS2, OS3 LAB sections only for 1 hour of credit.
