Description
Practical Optics bridges the gap between what students learn in optical engineering curricula and the problems they realistically will
face as optical engineering practitioners, in a variety of high-tech industries. A broad range of topics from modern optical engineering
are addressed, ranging from geometrical optics and basic layout of electro-optical instruments, to the theory of imaging, radiation sources
and radiation sensors, spectroscopy, and color vision and description of optical methods for measurements of numerous physical parameters
(temperature, flow velocity, distances, roughness of surfaces, etc.).
Audience:
Upper-level undergraduate and graduate level courses in applied optics in departments of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering,
and physics. Industry short courses, e.g. at OFC, CLEO, etc. Self-study/refresher in applied optics for aspiring/practicing engineers
in the Micro-Electronics and Electro-Optics Industries.
