Discusses wave-matter interactions, focusing on diffraction and diffusion phenomena, including principles of reflection, refraction, and the significance of X-ray interactions.
Covers the basics of optical tweezers and their applications in microscopy, manipulation, and spectroscopy, as well as the alignment of molecules using laser pulses.
Explores Fresnel diffraction, Fraunhofer diffraction, the Babinet principle, and optical microscope resolution, as well as near-field microscopy and SNOM/NSOM imaging.
