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

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
- 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
• Coherence, interference and the Michelson interferometer
• Laser and lab safety
• Uncertainty and Error Analysis
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.
