This course is intended for students who desire to focus on optical instrumentation basis.
It is still in a introductary level and serve as a baseline for a second follow-up course (Instrumental Optics II) |
|
| Course objective : | The main goal is to give an overview of the instrumental optics. From the oldest concepts to the new ages of instruments |
|
| Prerequisites : | Basic level in optics is required: geometrical and physical optics, as teached in the Bachelor degree. |
|
| Workshops : | 15 h (mandatory) :
- Exercices: 2h training with a ray-tracing software
- Personal report: a brief review of a high technology field in instrumental optics : 4h
- Laboratories: 5h using an optical bench oriented to instrumental applications (optical resolution , photometry...)
- Lab visits: Company specialized in optics and astronomy) (4h) |
|
| Organization : | Academic course: 20 h
During 1st period
Labs: mainly on 1st period but might be extended to 2nd one depending on organization. |
|
| Written notes : | Course support: slide copies are delivered to the students (+pdf)
