This optics course is matching the needs of Ingeneers. Physical and geometrical optics are re-formulated. Then, deeper matters are teached.

The aim of the course is to bring an overall view of the application domains and technologies relating to modern optics.

Concepts are presented in a phenomenologic approach with physical understanding.
Course objective :  Bring a global overview of fields and applications in modern optics
Prerequisites :  Knowledge of principles in geometric and physical optics (specific course teached during 2nd or 3rd Bachelor is mandatory)
Workshops :  20 h (mandatory)
Exercice sessions : 5h based on ray-tracing software introduction
Personnal Investigation : bibliographic analysis of a specific field in advanced photonics : 6h
Laboratory sessions : 5h (laser and holographic techniques understanding)
Visits of Laboratories and Industries at Liege area (optics and lasers related) : 4h
Organization :  Theory : 30h
during 1st period

Labs : 1st and optionaly 2nd period
Written notes :  Copy of slides (pdf)
