Inhoud

An important goal of most optical systems is to form an image of an object. Telescopes, microscopes, cameras and lens systems for lithography are amongst the many examples. This course gives insight into the basic principles to design, evaluate and optimize image forming optical systems. Due to the prevalence of micro-optics in many applications we will also touch upon diffraction and diffractive imaging elements. We will also hightlight aspects of fabrication and tolerancing because ever increasing demands on the image quality and miniaturization of optical systems pushes designers to take up those aspects as early as in the conceptual design phase.

Studiemateriaal
Digitaal cursusmateriaal (Vereist) : Design of Refractive and Diffractive Optical Imaging Systems, Slide hand-outs (pdf), Canvas

Leerresultaten

General Competencies

1)    The student can independently apply the essential technique of drawing ray paths through an optical instrument to derive and describe the positions, dimensions and properties of image points.

2)    The student can independently apply Gaussian, Newtonian and matrix calculation methods to an optical instrument in order to calculate the ray traverse and derive and describe the positions, dimensions and properties of image points and propose reasoned adaptations to the optical system.

3)    The student can independently determine key apertures in an optical system, describe their properties and make reasoned adjustments.

4)    The student can independently describe 5 geometric aberrations and chromatic aberration using the relevant polynomial equations, qualitatively describe the effect of the aberrations on imaging quality and explain the methods to counteract the aberrations.

5)    The student can independently describe the main methods to evaluate the image quality of an optical instrument.

6)    The student can independently determine, justify and describe the manufacturing method of an optical element based on given specifications and tolerances.

Beoordelingsinformatie

De beoordeling bestaat uit volgende opdrachtcategorieën:
Examen Mondeling bepaalt 100% van het eindcijfer

Binnen de categorie Examen Mondeling dient men volgende opdrachten af te werken:

  • mondeling-closed book met een wegingsfactor 100 en aldus 100% van het totale eindcijfer.

    Toelichting: Het examen is mondeling met schriftelijke gesloten boek voorbereiding.

Aanvullende info mbt evaluatie

The exam is a closed-book exam with preparation on paper, without digital aids and with an oral explanation. More information will be provided via the learning platform Canvas in a timely manner.

 

As an absolute minimum requirement to succeed on the exam, students must be able to apply the technique of drawing ray paths through a single lens or mirror flawlessly and completely independently.
