SLO/OEF Optics for Experimental Physicists

Lecturer: Pavel Pavlíček
Lecture: 2 hours/week
Credits: 3
Winter semester
Form of course completion: colloquium

• Illumination – eye as an optical detector, radiation and light quantities, reflective and diffusion surfaces, chained optical systems, loopholes and pupils
• Geometrical optics – simple imaging systems (converging and diverging lens, gradient lens, objective lens, telephoto lens, glasses, binoculars), telecentry, Scheimpflug principle, pancratic systems
• Defects of imaging – monochromatic defects (error calculation of the third order, spherical defect, astigmatism, curvature of the field, comma, distortion of image), chromatic aberration (achromats and apochromats)
• 3D sensors – triangulation, interferometry, influence of coherent speckle
