Course Details:
Optical devices are employed in an ever increasing range of applications,
from simple lenses to electronic cameras and displays, to complex
fiber-optic communication networks. This course provides an introduction to
modern optical engineering, covering the fundamental concepts as well as
practical techniques and applications. Basic optical principles are
presented, particularly reflection, refraction, aberrations, diffraction,
interference, brightness and coherence. Practical aspects of optical
materials will be covered as well. Building on this foundation, a wide
variety of optical devices and processes are then discussed, including
lenses and imaging systems, prisms, simple optical instruments, fiber
optics, photodetectors, and lasers.
General topics include followings:
Fundamental principles of optical systems. Geometrical optics and
aberration theory. Stops and apertures, prisms and mirrors.
Diffraction and interference. Optical materials and coatings.
Radiometry and photometry. Basic optical devices and the human
eye. The design of optical systems. Lasers,
and fiber optics.
