Overordnede kursusmål
The focus of this course is to introduce students to experimental work in optical laboratory, teach them how to plan, prepare and execute optical measurements and how to perform in depth analysis of experimental data.
Læringsmål
En studerende, der fuldt ud har opfyldt kursets mål, vil kunne:
  • Explain the difference between ray optics and Gaussian beams
  • Understand concept of optical diffraction, interference, polarization
  • Characterize the properties of optical fibers
  • Characterize the properties of light emitting diodes (LEDs) and laser diodes (LDs)
  • Perform Fourier optics manipulation of optical image
  • Design a simple THz spectroscopy setup and perform THz spectroscopy and imaging on simple samples
  • Plan, prepare and execute optical experiments
  • Operate different instrument in an optical experiment, such as Optical Spectrum Analyzer (OSA)
  • Document, evaluate and report on experimental results; analyze error source in an experiment and comment on possible improvements
Kursusindhold
The course contains lectures on

• Diffraction and interference of light
• Fiber optics
• Fourier optics
• Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and laser diodes (LDs)
• Polarization optics
• Ray optics, Gaussian beams and their propagation in optical systems
• THz spectroscopy and imaging

The experimental exercises focus on optics instrumentation and its use for characterization of various relevant optical phenomena, and on the use of optics instrumentation for the evaluation of the performance of optical systems within optics engineering.
