ETS 2215 Geometrical Optics

In this course, students learn principles of geometrical and physical optics that can be applied in the fields of electronics, instrumentation, telecommunications, and biomedical equipment. In the first half of this course students focus on the fundamentals of geometrical optics. Students learn how to manipulate light using mirrors and lenses. In the second half of the course, students dig deeper into the fundamentals of physical optics, such as interference patterns through single and double slits, pinholes, and diffraction gratings. Students also review the basics of laser construction and principles of laser operation.
