 |
| 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)
- 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. |
