- Synopsis:
-
The student will become familiar with the basic parts of physical optics, which will enable him to better understand the professional issues of eye optics and optometry. The subject deals in detail with the basics and application of physical optics in technology and biomedicine. Individual physical phenomena and processes from the field of wave optics (e.g. interference, diffraction and polarization of light) are discussed in detail here, together with their consequences and practical applications in the field of instrumentation, correction and diagnostic aids and methods used in optometry. The basics of the photon theory of light, the quantum principle of the interaction of light with matter, the basics of laser technology and its applications in science, technology, and biomedicine, especially in the field of optometry and ophthalmology, are also mentioned. The exercises take place in the form of laboratory optical measurements.
- Requirements:
-
Credit requirements:
1. 100% participation in exercises (must be replaced in case of absence)
2. Necessity to submit protocols from all laboratory measurements and their recognition by the trainee
Exam Requirements:
1. The exam consists of a written test and an oral examination. Answers to questions are graded according to difficulty. The overall assessment of the exam corresponds to the valid classification scale. If the result of any part is graded F, the exam result is also automatically F.
