Course Outcomes
Basic Optics Concepts
Use mathematical and conceptual descriptions of propagation of light in matter, reflection/transmission at boundaries, polarization effects, interference, dispersion, coherence, image formation, diffraction, and quantum aspects of light to analyze and predict optical phenomena.
Lab Work
Manipulate and measure properties of light in a laboratory setting.
Mathematical Tools
Apply mathematical tools such as vector calculus, complex numbers, matrices, and Fourier transforms (1D and 2D) to optical problems.
