- Synopsis:
-
Physical optics and its application in engineering and optometry. Fundamentals of wave optics (interference, diffraction, polarization, absorption, dispersion, reflectivity) with applications in instruments and optometry. Fundamental of photon theory of light. Photoelectric effect. Photodetectors. Light sources. Luminiscence. Fundamentals of lasers and their applications in optometry and ophthalmology. The laboratory excersises focus on selected optical measuring methods, regarding geometric and wave optics. Measurements relating to the basic characteristics of optical materials, parameters of optical elements and systems will be taken.
