Course objectives
This lecture is the continuing course for the foregoing lecture BOFO0131p - Physical Optics I. It performs an extension of pieces of knowledge obtained by students in the lecture BOFO0131p. The aims of this lecture are as follows:
1) Education of the students in understanding new pieces of knowledge of Physical Optics presented in this lecture by means of simple mathematical procedures and formulae, i.e. educating them on the basis of quantitative approaches.
2) Using presentation of suitable experiments to understand a connection between theoretical conclusions achieved and experimental practice.
3) Explanation of employing the pieces of knowledge obtained within this lecture in practical optometry.
Learning outcomes
This lecture is the continuing course for the foregoing lecture BOFO0131p - Physical Optics I. It performs an extension of pieces of knowledge obtained by students in the lecture BOFO0131p.
Syllabus
  • 1) Diffraction of light: Fraunhofer and Fresnel diffraction.
  • 2) Examples of light diffraction: diffraction on a sharp edge, pinholes of various simple forms, circular piece and linear grating.
  • 3) Understanding of a resolution of simple instruments: resolution of microscope and telescope.
  • 4) Principles of elementary theory of coherence: temporal and spatial coherence.
  • 5) Influence of light coherence on interference and diffraction.
  • 6) Principles of propagation of light in non-absorbing anisotropic media, birefringence.
  • 7) Bases of optics of non-absorbing uniaxial anisotropic crystals: ordinary and extraordinary waves and their properties, Snell's law for the plane boundary between non-absorbing isotropic and non-absorbing anisotropic media.
  • 8) Application of non-absorbing uniaxial crystals in practice: polarization prisms (Nicol's prism, Glan-Thompson's prism), compensators as elements influencing polarization states of light waves (Babinet's nad Babinet-Soleil's compensators).
  • 9) Artificial birefringence.
  • 10) Optical activity, phenomenological description of optical activity.
  • 11) Interference of polarized waves by means of uniaxial crystal plates, principles of photoelasticimetry.
