Overordnede kursusmål
The focus of this course is to introduce student to experimental
work in optical laboratory, teach him how to plan, prepare and
execute optical measurement and how to perform in depth analysis of
experimental data.
Læringsmål
En studerende, der fuldt ud har opfyldt kursets mål, vil kunne:
- Operate freely and explain differences between such concept as
ray optics, Gaussian beams, diffraction and interference,
electromagnetic spectrum, wavelength and frequency, electric field
and intensity of optical wave and temporal and frequency
representation of optical pulses.
- Explain the operational principles of an autocorrelator and use
it for characterization of short laser pulses
- Characterize properties of optical fibers
- Characterize the properties of light emitting diodes
(LEDs)
- Perform optical spectroscopy characterization of a simple
sample
- Plan and perform Fourier optics manipulation of optical
image
- Plan, prepare and execute optical experiments
- Document, evaluate and report on experimental results
- Analyze sources of noise in the experiment he performed and
comment on possible improvements
