1. Molecular Photonics: physical principles, simple molecules

This first course on Molecular Photonics will introduce the physical principles of the interaction of light with matter, described from a molecular perspective. Simple molecular paradigms will be introduced for nonlinear optical effects.

 2. Molecular Photonics: designed molecules, advanced applications

This second course on Molecular Photonics will elaborate the molecular design guidelines (introduced in the first course) to engineer special molecules for specific advanced optical applications. Examples include redox-active complexes for molecular switches, point-mutation in fluorescent proteins, and amphiphilic probes for nonlinear cellular imaging.
