| TFYY40 | Introduction to Fourier Optics, 5 ECTS-points /Grundläggande fourieroptik/ Advancement level: C | |
| Aim: The course aims at giving basic knowledge in so called fourier optics. That is the of use 2-dimensional fourier analysis to describe propagation of wavefronts in optical systems. What are the physical limitations of the information that can be transferred; what are the toleranses (abberations); how to use optical systems for simple image fltering and processing. Examples of applications: beam steering, optical interconnection (2D), SLMs, holography.Prerequisites: TFFY39 Electromagnetism and TFFY02 Mathematical methods of physics.Course organization: Seminars and problem solving sessions. Examination in terms of home work problems. Laboratory worksession and possibly visits to external lab. Course content: 2-dimensional fourier analysis - skalar diffractions teory - Fresnel and Fraunhofer diffraction - frequency analisis of optical systems - wavefront modulation - analogue optical information processing - holography.Course literature: Introduktion to Fourier Optics, J.
