Course Objective

Aim of this course is to give an idea to students on backgrounds, nature and applications of light induced luminescence from molecules dissolved in solution as well as nanostructers and molecules encapsulated in the solid state .This course begins with a general overview of the basic laws of spectroscopy, a definition of absorption and emission phenomena and goes on with newly applications of absorption and emission phenomena in the solid state. Relationship between molecular structure and absorption or emission will be presented. Fluorescence and phosphorescence measurements in solid state with integrating spheares, lanthanide-based luminescent assays for ligand-receptor interactions, uminescent nano-scale materials, nanofiber and guest specific solid-state fluorescence will be presented.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Understanding of basics of light induced changes on molecule
2   The student is expected to understand how the light induced interactions and reactions occur and to exploit the gains within this lesson in technology or daily life.
3   To develop the students analytical thinking abilities and abilities to present new and creative approaches regarding optical chemical sensing
4   To exploit the information on optics, light and their interactions, in nano technology or daily life.
5   Students should be able to adopt their general information regarding light induced changes
