Optical Engineering

This course in optical engineering covers topics such as geometric optics, refraction, image formation, aberrations, Gaussian beams, and interferometry.

The course also includes laboratory components using the software OSLO, as well as programming components using Python and Matlab. The topics covered range from basic concepts to more advanced topics such as aberration correction, Gaussian beam transformation, and applications of interference in holography and diffractive optics.
