Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Skills for organising and supporting learning in an evolving dynamic.
• Understand the subject content, its epistemological foundations, its scientific and technological development, its didactics and teaching methodology.
• Understand how to integrate digital technologies into your teaching practices.

Learning Outcomes of UE

At the end of this instruction, the students will be able :
- to explain the physical basis of the optical properties of dielectric materials, metals and semiconductors
- To apply the equations of Fresnel to the propagation of light in a stratified material
- to analyze the characteristics of an ellipsometric spectrum and of a spectrum of reflectivity
- to understand the influence of the physical properties (roughness, ... ) and of the optical properties of constitutive materials on these spectra

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance
