prof. RNDr. Radim Chmelík, Ph.D.

Institute of Physical Engineering

Students will be made familiar with concrete optical components, with their mounting in the mechanical parts. They will be made familiar also with the specific optical devices and with their design and mounting. They will gain the fundamental overview of the field.

Refractive index, Snell's law, dispersion, light refraction in plan-parallel plate, Gaussian space, graphic determination of the image position, lens maker’s equation (Newton, Gauss, Gullstrand), spherical faces, lenses, Fresnel equations for refraction, mirrors, aberrations of optical systems.

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.

Active participation in seminars and three written tests.
Exam: written.

The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the basic properties of optical materials from the optics point of view, processes taking place at the interface of the optically isotropic environments, and properties of real optical components and their combination. Students will be able to apply this basic knowledge of geometrical optics in design and construction of optical systems.

Attendance at practicals is obligatory. Absence may be compensated for by the agreement with the teacher depending on the length of absence.
