| Theory (lectures) : 20h
Labs and training: 15h This course is oriented to students in Physics with the aim to go deeper in one of the important chapter of their education program: optics We'll bring additional knowledge in geometrical optics as well as physics optics (mainly wave-optics). It also requires to study the basic of electromagnetism. |
|||||
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
|||||
| The goal of the course is to procure a solid basic in geometrical optics, insisting on the material properties and the applications.
Next, the physics optics develops the principle of light-matter interactions, interference, and diffraction. |
