Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

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.

Assessment and permitted materials

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.

Examination topics

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

Reading list

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