Announcements

OH and wave propagation movies

Dear Folks,

I can be made available for OH on Thur. or Fri. this week. Please let me know if there's a need and if so suggest the day/time.

Movies of propagating electromagnetic waves of ~1 THz frequency can be viewed here:

These are experimental images of electric field, not simulations! The length of each movie (in terms of the actual time) is a few tens of picoseconds.

Welcome to ES.8022!

You can find the syllabus and the calendar in the Materials: be sure to read them before our class! Currently I scheduled the first quiz on March 8th and the second one on April 18th (during class time). You may notice that the last week of class is not planned: we can decide what to do together! See you tomorrow,
Paola
PS Nathan, Jason, please post your OH on Stellar. Psets will be due on Tuesdays
