Course Goal / Objective
Define and use basic radiometric units. Define the following properties of light: Speed, Frequency, Wavelength, Energy. Describe the dual nature of light, as a continuous wave and a discrete particle (photon), and give examples of light exhibiting both natures. Describe the mechanisms that affect light propagating in a medium and its transmission.
Course Content
Ray optics (Postulates, simple optical components, graded-index, matrix). Wave optics (Postulates, relation between wave optics and ray optics, monochromatic and polychromatic light). Beam optics (Gaussian beam, transmission through optical components), Fourier optics (Optical Fourier Transform, diffraction of light, Image formation holography). Polarization of Light, Optics of Anisotropic Media. Optical Activity. Guide wave optics. Fiber optics.
