Course Title:
Fourier and Binary Optics
Course Description:
Examines the fundamentals of Fourier and binary optics from a theoretical and a practical viewpoint. Topics include radiation as a wave, polarization of radiation, reflection and refraction at surfaces, optical diffraction, scalar wave equation, Helmholtz and Kirchoff integral theorems, Fresnel and Fraunhoffer diffraction, Green’s theorem, interferometry, division of amplitude, division of wave front, diffraction gratings, multilayer filters, interferometric instrumentation, and holography. Also discusses imaging properties of lenses and optical systems, coherent and incoherent imaging, modulation transfer function, spatial filtering, diffraction-limited optical systems, surface design of binary optical elements, miniature and micro-optics, fabrication of diffraction-limited optics, and applications of diffraction-limited optics.
