3. Optics of Thin Films
1st year course (2nd term), 3 credits (90 hours)
Associate Professor Mykola O. Makarovskyi
A course of lectures dedicated to studying optical properties of thin coatings, both individual films and multilayered coatings. Theoretical foundations of films' optical properties are considered. Spectral dependencies of reflection, transmission and absorption coefficients are studied. A review of methods to determine films' optical and geometrical characteristics is given. Ways of calculating and creating multilayered coatings are stated for highly reflective mirrors, narrow-band, cutting and polarization filters.

4. Metamaterials and Their Dispersive Properties
1st year course (2nd term), 3 credits (90 hours)
Professor Sergey I. Tarapov
A course of lectures dedicated to electromagnetic properties of metamaterials i.e. media which response is determined by the medium as a whole, not by individual atoms. Such topics are covered as properties of photonic crystals, surface states, influence of defects on optical properties of photonic crystals. 'Left-handed' materials are reviewed, and a nature of negative dielectric and magnetic permittivity.
