- Synopsis:
-
The course gives a thorough interpretation of the principle of image forming by planar and spherical surfaces under the laws of geometric optics. Monochromatic and colour aberrations are also explained.
- Requirements:
- Syllabus of lectures:
-
1. Light as electromagnetic radiation. Wavefronts and rays. Index of refraction. Optical path. Polarization.
2. Fermat's principle. Refraction and reflection at a plane surface. Total internal reflection. Planparalel plate. Handeness and parity.
3. Plane mirro and systems of mirrors. Refraction prisms: types, applications.
4.Crown and flint glass, dispersion, Abbe number. Dispersion prisms, minimum deviation position.
5. Curved optical surfaces. Transfer equations, ray tracing. Cardinal points and planes.
6. Focal length, optical power. Magnification: transverse, axial, angular.
7. Centred system of optical surfaces: cardinal points, focal length, magnification, transfer equations.
8. Thick lens: image forming, ray tracing, types.
9. Thin lens: image forming, ray tracing (graphically and algebraically).
10. Systems of thin lenses, system focus. Afocal system.
11. Aberrations of optical systems: monochromatic. 12. Aberrations of optical systems: chromatic. Corrections of aberrations. Doublets.
13. Colorimetry. Colour mixing, colour systems.
