Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course aims to bridge the gap between theoretical textbooks and the "real world" of the scientist who uses optical instruments and detectors. Examples are drawn from the teacher's experience in universities and in industry. Topics include the analysis of lenses, telescopes, and cameras, different models of light, optical design, CCD detection, polarization, interferometers, color, and more. Students may influence the choice of special topics, and questions from students are welcome during lectures.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Optional homework assignments will be provided every few weeks. The test will also contain additional material from the lectures.
The format test will be an oral examination. The test will last less than 30 minutes.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

To pass, the student must show at least partial understanding of lecture material from each of four areas:
Geometric optics, radiometry, color and spectrometry, and special topics.

Prüfungsstoff

The exam will cover the material presented in the lectures, including homework assignments.

Literatur

There is no required textbook, but recommendations will be made during lectures. Extensive PowerPoint slides and notes will be made available for every lecture.
