Examples include geometrical optics and ray-tracing, Physical and statistical optics inluding spectral methods, near-field optics, scattering, speckles and the phase determination, optical fibres, quasi-classical detection of light. Inverse problems will also be covered.RealizationLectures, computer exercises and a project. The focus will be on individual work on the computer exercises and the project.ExaminationHand-in problems and project presentation both written and orally.RemarksThe course is given in English if reguested.ExaminerMikael SjödahlLiterature.
