Course Information:

Time: Tue, Thur, 9:30-10:45 PM
Location: ECCR 139
Instructor: Kelvin Wagner
Text book: J.W. Goodman, Introduction to Fourier Optics, 3rd. Ed.

Course Description

Fourier optics is the treatment of optical wave propagation using linear system techniques. This treatment enables the design and analysis of various optical systems using simple signal processing tools, such as Fourier analysis, correlation and convolution. Optical systems studied include imaging systems, optical signal processing and holographic systems.

The course covers the following topics:

Two dimensional Fourier analysis
Scalar diffraction theory
Lens as a Fourier transform and imaging element
Coherent and incoherent imaging systems
Optical transfer function
Momentum space respresentations
Numerical methods for wave propagation
Matched and spatial filtering
Optical processing, convolution and correlation
Holography: recording and reconstruction
