| Aim: Fourier optics is concerned with the propagation of light. The basic mathematical tool in this field is the decomposition of the light signal into elementary functions, i.e., Fourier decomposition. The course will provide insight to 2D optical systems designed to convey information. Particular attention will be paid to the physical limitations set by light diffraction, a phenomenon that can be accounted for in a wave-optics approach but not in a geometrical-optics approach. The ability to manipulate light waves will be discussed, and optical information processing with aid of spatial light modulators plays a central role. |

| Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered) Fourier analysis, Wave Physics, Electromagnetism Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding. |
|||
| Organisation: Theory and applications are presented during 10 lectures. Homework problem sets will function as examination. Whenever needed, the course will be presented in English. |
|||
| Course contents: 2-dimensional Fourier analysis, scalar diffraction theory, Fresnel and Fraunhofer diffraction, frequency analysis of optical system, wavefront modulation, analog optical information processing, holography |
