This course is intended for students who desire to focus on optical instrumentation basis. An overview is proposed. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| The main goal is to give an overview of the instrumental optics. From the oldest concepts to the new ages of instruments |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| Basic level in optics is required: geometrical and physical optics, as teached in the Bachelor degree. |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| 15 h (mandatory) :
- Exercices: training with a ray-tracing software
- Personal report: a brief review of a high technology field in instrumental optics
- Laboratories: optical bench oriented to instrumental applications (optical resolution , photometry...)
- Lab visits: Company specialized in optics and astronomy) |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| Academic course: 20 h
During 1st period
Labs: mainly on 1st period but might be extended to 2nd one depending on organization. |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| Course support: slide copies are delivered to the students (+pdf)
