Every autumn semester

The course aims at providing knowledge about the basic principles of optics and practical knowledge on optical design, with the help of a ray tracing program.

Ray optics, including matrix-formulation
Wave optics,
Fourier Optics,
Electromagnetic optics,
Polarization.
Three laboratory exercises: Interferometry, Fourier optics and Polarization.
A project with ray tracing.
