Language(s) of instruction :
 |
| French language |
 |
Organisation and examination :
 |
| Teaching in the second semester |
 |
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. The success of the course I being a prerequisite, it is not allowed to follow the course I and II during the same academic year |
 |
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
 |
| 30h of experiments are covered through several activities:
- Research centre and Company visits
- Seminars (at CSL and AGO department )
- Personal research program
|
 |
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
 |
| The course is teached at the second period only.
Theory is teached once a week (2-3h). |
 |
Recommended or required readings :
 |
| Students have access to slides copy (pdf).
Several scientific books are available. They are mainly dedicated to the preparation of a personal research study. |
 |
Assessment methods and criteria :
 |
| Experimental activities and personal researches 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.
According to the "paysage" decree, the certification is validated from a notation = 10/20. |
 |
Work placement(s) :

 |
Organizational remarks :
 |
| Master2 students have the ability to work on a research projects (upon request and acceptation) |
