April 2103 Physics 323 – Optics (4) Course Outline PHYS 323 Optics (4) Geometrical optics, lens systems, aberrations, physical optics and polarization. 3 lectures, 1 laboratory. Prerequisite: PHYS 133, MATH 241. Recommended: PHYS 322. Learning Objectives and Criteria: • Upon completion of the course the student is expected to have the following skills:understand the principles of geometrical optics • apply geometrical optics to optical instruments • mathematically describe optical waves • perform superpositions of two or more waves in the context of interference and diffraction • mathematically and graphically describe polarization of light • have a familiarity with fields of research and/or industrial applications of physical optics • assemble, align, troubleshoot, and optimize experimental optical equipment beyond an introductory level • understand and be able to use detection equipment such as CCD cameras and power meters • understand and be able to use computer software programs for data collection and analysis • clearly present, discuss, analyze, and explain data and results in written form Text and References: Pedrotti et al , Introduction to Optics, 3rd edition, Pearson Prentice Hall Content and Method: Method: Physics 323 is offered in a traditional lecture and lab format. Content: Physics 323 will adhere to the following topics: • • • • • Geometrical Optics Lens systems aberrations physical optics polarization Laboratory Experiments: • Reflection and refraction • Simple lenses • Optical systems • Interference and diffraction phenomena and their applications • Polarization Methods of Assessment: April 2103 The student’s course grade is determined principally by performance on mid-term examination(s), the final examination, and laboratory work. Additional assessment may be by homework assignments and term papers.
