|
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.
|
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| 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 and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| Course "Instrumental optics I" or equivalent |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| 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)
|
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| 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). |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| Students have access to slides copy (pdf) |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| 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. |
|
Organizational remarks :
|
| Master2 students have the ability to work on a research projects (upon request and acceptation) |
