|
Course contents :
|
|||||||||||
| Theory (lectures) : 20h
Applications&Laboratory : 15h The lectures are preferentially given in English. This course is intended for students who desire to focus on optical instrumentation basis. An overview is proposed with several applications and related technologies Concepts are presented in a phenomenological approach with an intuitive physical understanding. |
|||||||||||
|
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. Astronomic instruments are often referenced. | |||||||||||
|
Prerequisite knowledge and skills :
|
|||||||||||
| Knowledge of basics in geometric and physical optics (specific courses that are supposed to be given during 1st and 2nd Bachelor) | |||||||||||
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
|||||||||||
| In addition to the academic lectures,
15 h (mandatory and taking part of the evaluation process): Exercise sessions: ray-tracing software introduction Personal Investigation: bibliographic analysis of a specific field in advanced photonics, related to instrumental optics. Laboratory sessions: optical bench oriented to instrumental applications (optical resolution , photometry...). Visits of Laboratories and Industries at Liege area (space and astronomy optics related). |
|||||||||||
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
|||||||||||
| Theory: 20h in class room
during the 1st period (some Thursday morning) Labs and others: 15h during the 1st period (dates to be fixed depending on student and supervisory staff availabilities) |
|||||||||||

Assessment methods and criteria :
|
|||||||||||
| Labs and personal research works are quoted.
An exam is organized in January (1st session). Checking of physical concept understanding is the baseline of the examination. Written and oral exams are combined. According to the "paysage" decree, the certification is validated from a notation = 10/20. |
