The code indicates the education cycle and in-depth level of the course in relation to other courses within the same main field of study according to the requirements for general degrees:
First cycle
- G1N: has only upper-secondary level entry requirements
- G1F: has less than 60 credits in first-cycle course/s as entry requirements
- G1E: contains specially designed degree project for Higher Education Diploma
- G2F: has at least 60 credits in first-cycle course/s as entry requirements
- G2E: has at least 60 credits in first-cycle course/s as entry requirements, contains degree project for Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Science
- GXX: in-depth level of the course cannot be classified
Second cycle
- A1N: has only first-cycle course/s as entry requirements
- A1F: has second-cycle course/s as entry requirements
- A1E: contains degree project for Master of Arts/Master of Science (60 credits)
- A2E: contains degree project for Master of Arts/Master of Science (120 credits)
- AXX: in-depth level of the course cannot be classified
- Grading system: Fail (U), Pass (3), Pass with credit (4), Pass with distinction (5)

Learning outcomes
On completion of the course, the student should be able to:
- describe and explain fundamental concepts in laser physics
- compare the function and properties of a number of common lasers
- describe and compare the most common methods in laser spectroscopy as well as their their applications in studying photochemical and photophysical processes
- apply and use laser spectroscopic instruments in practice
Content
Properties of light, interaction between light and matter, principles of laser action, properties of laser radiation, non-linear phenomena and generation of short pulses, laser systesm for spectroscopy, instrumentation for detection of optical signals and time-resolved measurements, absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, non-linear spectroscopy, time-resolved and ultra-fast laser spectroscopy, special applications of laser spectroscopy, laboratory exercises.
Instruction
Lectures, tutorial exercises, seminars, laboratories, seminars and project.
Assessment
Seminars (5 credits), written and oral presentations of project (3 credits), laboratory exercises (2 credits). The final grade corresponds to a weighted sum of the different course components
If there are special reasons for doing so, an examiner may make an exception from the method of assessment indicated and allow a student to be assessed by another method. An example of special reasons might be a certificate regarding special pedagogical support from the disability coordinator of the university.
Other directives
The course cannot be counted towards a degree together with 1KB757 Lacer Spectroscopy.
