Holder(s) :  Serge Habraken
Language :  French language
Course contents :  This course is a follow-up of the #I.
It intends to study deeper several aspects of astronomic imaging :
  • optical design using ray-tracing
  • spectrographs and interferometers
  • optical technologies over the spectral band (from RX to µ-waves)
  • technologies for large terrestrial telescopes and deployable space telescopes.
Course objective :  This course should bring the level of understanding to a level where physics and technologies of modern astronomical instruments are covered. Active participation of students is required.
Prerequisites :  Course "Instrumental optics I" or equivalent
Workshops :  30h of experiments are covered through several activities:
  • Ray-tracing analysis (6h)
  • Laboratory (6h)
  • Research centre and Company visits (4h)
  • Seminars (at CSL and AGO department ) (4h)
  • Personal research program (10h)
Organization :  The course is teached at the second period only. It is accessible to student from Master 1 if they have succeeded in the course #1 and students from Master 2.
Theory is teached once a week (2-3h).
Written notes :  Students have access to slides copy (pdf)
Assessment :  Experimental activities are evaluated during the period and are quoted to 50%.
Oral exam is organized to check the level of understanding of the students. 50% is attributed to this exam.
