About this course:
This is a one-semester course,
designed to cover the basic and advanced contents on Optics. It is intended
to include both Classical Optics and Modern Optics, since there is no
Classical Optics offered in the department currently. The main text book is
Optics by Hecht, but the lecture will not limited to the
content of Hecht, nor will it follows the sequences of the text book. Due to
the enormous amount of the material in the textbook, we will make choices
and skip some parts that are not critical to the subject or future
applications. However, we will try to cover all the materials if
possible to provide you with a broader view toward the subject of Optics.
This course assumes you have
taken and passed General Physics and Electricity & Magnetism, so similar
concepts/theories will not be repeated in the class
This course will demand heavily
on your pre-class reading according to our scheduled contents.
It is strongly recommended that you read the text material before you come to the class, therefore, the
class notes will not be very detail, and you will be asked to answer some of
the questions. Since this semester we intend to cover both classical and
modern optics, we may not go as far as planned in the class syllabus, it all
depend on the class reaction.
Our course will cover both classical
and modern optics. The subjects will include:
Classical Optics
1. Wave
A. Complex representation of real oscillatory
functions (H21-23)

G. Stoke's treatment of reflection and refraction
H. Geometrical optics as a limiting form of the
wave theory (BW 109-130)
I. Propagation of light in inhomogeneous media
(BW 51-66)
3. Polarization of light
A. General discussion of polarization
B. Mathematical description
C. Stoke's matrices and unpolarized light
4. Interference of light
