Geometrical optics, a branch of optics that eschews wave phenomena in favour of ray propagation, continues to underpin advances in lens design and optical engineering. Contemporary studies in this ...

This course will cover the use of lenses,mirrors,and other optics to construct optical systems. Topics will include paraxial optics, aberrations, two element systems (such as telescopes), and ...

Classical optics, rooted in the laws of reflection and refraction that treat light as rays, has long provided a practical framework for imaging and illumination. By contrast, physical optics delves ...

A career in optical physics or engineering means knowing about the behavior and properties of light, including its interactions with matter and its detection by instruments. Since the discovery that ...
