Learning unit contents

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 learning unit

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.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

Physics and Mathematics learned during 1st Bachelor

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning)

The course is organized during the 1st period.
Theory: 20h
Planning to be defined  
Lab and training sessions: 10+5h
Schedule will communicated to the students

Recommended or required readings

Note book and slide copies are available (to be downloaded by the students: pdf files).
Additional notes about geometrical optics are available

Assessment methods and criteria

A written exam takes place at the end of the 2nd period.
A second session of exam (written) is organized in Aug/Sept. Lab reports are quoted. The quotation is taken into account at a level of 20% of the global total.
