{title2=Third year Atomic and laser physics}

https://users.physics.ox.ac.uk/~lvovsky/B3/ contain assorted PDFs from between 2015 and 2019

Syllabus reads:
* Multi-electron atoms: central field approximation, electron configurations, shell structure, residual electrostatic interaction, spin orbit coupling (<fine structure>).
* Spectra and energy levels: <Term symbols>, <selection rules>, X-ray notation, Auger transitions.
* <Hyperfine structure>; effects of magnetic fields on fine and hyperfine structure. Presumably <Zeeman effect>.
* Two level system in a classical light field: Rabi oscillations and Ramsey fringes, decaying states; Einstein
* <Einstein coefficients>[A and B coefficients]; homogeneous and inhomogeneous broadening of spectral lines; rate equations.
* Optical absorption and gain: <population inversion> in <three-level laser>[3-] and <four-level laser>[4-level] systems; optical gain cross section; saturated absorption and gain.

Professor in 2000s seems to be
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Ewart[]. He actually fought not to be dismissed by age and won!
* https://www.physics.ox.ac.uk/our-people/ewart
But as of 2023 marked emeritus, so who took over?

Ewart is actually religious:
* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aulL-Qa65i0 Paul Ewart, Chance, Science and Spirituality by <Faraday Institute for Science and Religion>. Oh, he is/was actually chairman of that crap
* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVX2F4XvGYo Chaos and the Character of God by Prof. Paul Ewart
This dude is pure trouble for Oxford!

The course was previously B1, they just change the IDs randomly from time to time to fit the B1-7 numbering.
