IO2692 Optics, Extended Course 3.0 credits

Course offerings are missing for current or upcoming semesters.
Headings with content from the Course syllabus IO2692 (Autumn 2008–) are denoted with an asterisk ( )

Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

- Geometrical optics and image formation, optical analysis and design, image quality.- Transfer of energy and information; radiometry and photometry.

Intended learning outcomes

The course has primarily two goals- to give a deeper and broader insight into optics as a science and a technology, its basic physics and phenomena and their importance for technical applications- to be a starting point for the following, more specialised courses within the special area of optics and photonics

Literature and preparations

Specific prerequisites

Basic knowledge in classical physics, especially waves and elementary optics and mathematics (vector analysis, differential equations, Fourier transforms).

Recommended prerequisites

Examination and completion

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

Grading scale

A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Examination

  • LAB1 - Laboratory Work, 0.8 credits, grading scale: P, F
  • TEN1 - Examination, 2.2 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

Other requirements for final grade

- Laboratory work (0,75 ECTS credits)- One written closed-book examination (2,25 ECTS credits)

Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination

Ethical approach

  • All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
  • In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
  • In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
