EECE 7105 — Optics for Engineers
4 semester hoursGraduateLectureusually offered: falltypical days: W/FBostonTraditional
Introduces optics, presenting the engineering concepts necessary to understand and evaluate electro-optical systems. Begins with a brief but rigorous treatment of geometric optics, including matrix methods, aberrations, and pupils and windows, with practical examples of optical instruments and electro-optical systems. Topics include polarization; interference; diffraction; and optical properties of crystals, thin films, optical resonators, guided waves, modulators, and detectors. Presents concepts with examples from modern optical systems such as LiDAR, fiber-optical sensors, range finders, infrared systems, and optical communication systems. Requires a bachelor of science in engineering or physics.
