Course Title:
Optical Systems
Course Description:
Retired August 31, 2005; replaced by ETE 4372 in the School of Professional and Continuing Studies. Involves developing the basics of optical imaging in the Gaussian approximation and analyzing the various designs stemming from lens aberration, intent and forms of optical systems, and flux throughput. Emphasizes a physically descriptive analysis of such applications as nondiffractive interference effects (interferometers, interference filters, high- and antireflection films, and longitudinal “laser” cavity modes) and diffraction effects (apertures and gratings). Also discusses wave imagery, image processing, and the three-dimensional imaging of holography; polarization phenomena and associated materials and devices; and basic quantum optics.
