Course detail
Design of Instruments and Optomechanics II
FSI-TK2 Acad. year: 2022/2023 Summer semester
The course acquaints students with advanced design solutions of optomechanical instruments. Special attention is paid to microscope systems, interference and holographic instruments, devices for spectroscopy and systems for scatterometry. Students will be acquainted with design solutions of these optical systems and devices so that they are able to design optical instruments based on knowledge of principles.

Prerequisites
Design of instruments and optomechanics I
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught in the form of lectures that have the character of explanation of basic principles and theory of the given discipline. The exercises are focused on practical mastery of the subject matter covered in the lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Active participation in seminars and three written tests.
Exam: written.
Aims
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the principles and design of optomechanical assemblies in the fields of light microscopy, holography, spectroscopy and scatterometry with optimal use of computers. Students will learn the properties of real optomechanical assemblies and their combinations. They will also be able to use the acquired skills and knowledge in the field of design, geometric and wave optics when designing optomechanical systems.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Attendance at seminars is obligatory and is monitored by the teacher. The way of compensating missed lessons will be determined by the teacher based on the extent and content of missed lessons.
