|
Course contents :
|
|||||||||||||||||
| Theory (lectures): 20h
Laboratory: 15h The lectures are preferentially given in English. This course is matching the Physicists who desire to enhance their knowledge in optics with the application of the principles and modern technologies Theory serves to introduce the concepts and deeper develop geometric and physic optics. Lab training is more elaborated than Bachelor's Labs. |
|||||||||||||||||
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
|||||||||||||||||
| The main goal is to give an overview of modern optics and photonics. The relevant technologies are detailed. | |||||||||||||||||
|
Prerequisite knowledge and skills :
|
|||||||||||||||||
| Knowledge of basics in geometric and physical optics (specific courses that are supposed to be given in the Bachelor degree) | |||||||||||||||||
|
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 Laboratory sessions: laser and holographic techniques understanding Visits of Laboratories and Industries at Liege area (optics and lasers related) |
|||||||||||||||||
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
|||||||||||||||||
| Theory: 20h in class room
during the 1st period (several 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. |
