授課大綱 - 您將從這門課程中學到什麼
Introduction to Geometrical Optics
This module introduces rays, which we use to describe the motion of light through air and materials. The course overview describes the goals of this course and gives tips on how to make the best use of the course materials to be successful. The lectures introduce the material. The in-video questions, lab demonstrations, PhET interactive demonstration, practice problems, and homework assignment allow you to get actively involved in learning the material.
Optical System Design in OpticStudio
In this module, you will learn how to enter the description of an optical system into OpticStudio, analyze the performance of that system using various calculations and plots, and finally optimize that design by defining a merit function and search variables.
First Order Ray Tracing
This module applies Snell's Laws to the curved interfaces of lenses and mirrors. You will learn the graphical and mathematical tools you need to calculate image size and location for thin lens and mirror systems. This foundation is essential to build more complex optical systems.
Thick Optics and Mirrors
This module extends the analysis of the previous module to include the effects of real, thick lenses. You will learn how to input this factor into your optical system analysis and design.

來自FIRST ORDER OPTICAL SYSTEM DESIGN的熱門評論
Well made course. clear lecture. removed one star because lecture note is not sufficient to cover all the concepts. Need more reading materials.
Assignments are difficult and the auto-grader is a bit buggy. But the course content and the faculty is great
Clear conceptual explanation of optical design concepts. Very helpful forf understanding ZEMAX operation.
Excellent content and instructor, but, resources for this online course are a bit limited. Getting the OpticStudio software was a challenge.
