Course Introduction

The course is designed to give the student a firm background of the fundamentals of modern optics. The primary objective of the course is to provide a comprehensive approach to the broad field of optics. Topics include: geometrical and physical optics; foundations of the scalar treatment of light; Fruanhofer and Fresnel diffraction; wave optics analysis of coherent optical systems and frequency analysis of optical imaging systems; analog optical information processing; and holography. Additionally, there will be sections on beam optics and polarization.

The student should have a good understanding of Fourier transforms techniques, complex algebra and be conversant in the principles of linear system theory. Detailed description of the course material is attached and the recommended course textbook is Introduction to Fourier Optics, 2nd edition, Joseph Goodman, McGraw-Hill (1996).

GRADING:

Final grade will be based on a combination of the two tests and the final. The actual policy will be discussed in class.

TESTS:

Schedule of tests to be announced in class
