What are you going to learn?<\/h1><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The student will get an introduction to the discipline of optics and its role in the modern society. The student shall master the geometrical approximation, including Gauss thin lens formula, Fermat’s and Huygen’s principles, and the paraxial matrix formalism for refractive and reflective surfaces. The student will be able to analyze typical optical imaging systems, with emphasis on the human eye, the camera, the telescope and the microscope. Know a basics of interferometry, polarization, diffraction, and the basics of coherent and non-coherent light sources. The student shall become able to analyze and calculate interference between plane waves and spherical waves, reflection and transmission of plane waves, and optical wave guiding within thin plates and optical fibers. The student shall understand how the polarization of light changes at reflection and transmission at interfacesThe student shall know the conditions for near and far-field diffraction and be able to calculate the far-field diffraction from gratings and simple aperture functions. The student shall have knowledge about and be able to explain concepts such as numerical aperture, F-number, spatial resolution and image quality for optical systems that originates from diffraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
