Goal: This course moves beyond the first-order treatment of optical system design to discuss other topics important to optical engineering. The effects of aberrations on the performance of imaging systems will be studied. The concepts of wavefront and ray aberrations will be introduced, and the individual third-order aberration terms will be examined. Ray fans, wave fans and spot diagrams will be shown. The course will continue with a discussion of colorimetry and polarization optics. The principles of geometrical optics and linear systems theory will then be applied to electronic imaging systems. The course will conclude with a discussion of diffractive optical elements.
Instructor Notes: Will be required and will be distributed at cost.

Grading Policy:
Homework 20%
Midterm (In-class) 35%
Final - In Class 45%
Only a basic scientific calculator may be used for the in-class exams. This calculator must not have programming or graphing capabilities. An acceptable example is the TI-30 calculator. Each student is responsible for obtaining their own calculator. Please note that this type of calculator is also required for the Ph.D. Comprehensive Exam in Optical Sciences.
Homework Assignments & Solution Sets: These will be posted as .pdf files through this website. If you need Acrobat Reader to view .pdf files, please see the Adobe website for a free download.
There will be approximately one assignment per week, and it will usually be due in one week. The solutions to the homework will be posted at the same time as the homework is assigned. The purpose of the homework is for you to practice the techniques discussed in class or to reinforce this material. Completion of the homework is important to fully master this material. Collaboration and discussion of the homework is encouraged.
Homework is due in the classroom on the assigned day. It must be turned in before the start of class. A student may only turn in their own homework.
Because the homework solutions are available as a resource during the completion of the assigned homework, the grading of the homework will be based upon verification that the homework problems have been completed and turned in. Approval for late homework must be obtained in advance.
