Lectures: 1.-2. Introduction, Wave and electromagnetic optics (waves, intensity, polarization, Fresnel formulas, interference, coherence, diffraction) 3.-5. Geometric optics (ray, Fermat's principle, Snell's law, paraxial approximation, imaging, thin lens, optical systems, ray transfer matrix, apertures and pupils, depth of field, telecentric system) 6.-7. Non-paraxial optics (thin and thick lenses, aberation of optical systems and their correction, optomechanics, tracing of non-paraxial systems) 8.-9. Diffraction limit (wave optics imaging, PSF, resolution criterion, optical transfer function coherent vs. incoherent system, MTF) 10. Construction of optical instruments (components, parameters, refractive and reflective systems, magnifier, eyepiece, lens) 11. Telescopes - principle, types and uses 12. Microscopes - principle, types and uses 13.-14. Autocollimators, interferometers, spectrometers - principle, types, applications Seminars: practical tasks in which students will work on the construction of simple optical instruments (telescope, microscope, autocollimator, interferometer, spectrometer)

Learning outcomes
|
The course "Construction of optical devices," introduces students basic optical devices such as magnifiers, camera, autocollimator, microscope, telescope or interferometer, and presents some ways to use these devices in engineering applications. Optical and mechanical design of devices will be analyzed and the factors affecting majority-instrument parameters will be shown. Beyond devices as arrangements, the basic components used for their construction, such as lenses, mirrors, prisms, light sources, detectors and others will also be discussed. Within laboratory exercises, students will have the opportunity to design for example length measuring interferometer, simple microscope, telecentric measuring arrangement.
Students will acquire the basic knowledge of the principles and the construction of optical devices, their applications and possibilities of use. Students will receive some practical skill to work with some fundamental optical devices. Students will be able to construct optical devices and to use them actively.
