1. Department, number and title of course: Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences: EE 119 – Introduction to Optical Engineering2. Catalog Description: (3 units) Three hours of lecture and one hour of discussion per week. Fundamental principles of optical systems. Geometrical optics and aberration theory. Stops and apertures, prisms, and mirrors. Diffraction and interference. Optical materials and coatings. Radiometry and photometry. Basic optical devices and the human eye. The design of optical systems. Lasers, fiber optics, and holography. 3. Prerequisites: Physics 7C. 4. Textbooks and/or other required material:Optics, 4th edition, by Eugene Hecht, (Addison Wesley Longman, 2002)5. Course objectives: This course introduces fundamental physical principles of both classical and modern optics as well as principles of optical design used in the engineeringof optical systems. It also provides exposure to practical aspects of optical materials and devices. Its intention is to provide a foundation of basic principles, design methodology, and practical considerations needed to design or use optical instruments in engineering practice.6. Topics Covered:1. Propagation of light. Snell`s law and Huygen`s principle. Refraction and reflection. Plane waves, spherical waves and image formation. Total internal reflection. Polarization,polarizers, and wave-plates. 2. Lenses and aberrations. Phase retardation by thin lenses. Lens laws and formation of images. Resolution and primary aberrations. Prism devices Various optical material types, crown and flint glass, fused silica, low thermal expansion glasses. Design of achromatic doublet.3. Simple optical instruments. Optical properties of the human eye. Still cameras, shutters, apertures, photographic film. Design of telescopes, atmospheric distortion, the Hubble Space Telescope. Microscope design. Projection system design. 4. Detectors. Semiconductor detectors, including pn junction diodes, PIN diodes and avalanch diodes. Photomultipliers. CCD image array detectors. Microchannel plate image intensifiers. 5. Light modulators. Liquid crystal light valves and flat panel displays. Deformable mirror array devices. 6. Illuminators and condensers. Brightness theorem. Field uniformity and light collection efficiency. Light sources including Solar, arc lamp, tungsten filament lamp and mercury discharge lamp. Solar energy collectors including photovoltaics and thermal concentrators. 7. Lasers. Optical gain. Spontaneous and stimulated emission. Population inversion. Optical feedback and resonant cavities. Resonator design. Laser modes. Spectral bandwidth and coherence length. Examples of laser types including diode laser, gas laser.Harmonic generation. 8. Diffraction theory. Fraunhofer and Fresnel Diffraction. Fresnel zone plate. 9. Interference. Young`s 2 slit experiment and fringe visibility. Michelson Interferometer.Multiple beam interference and thin film coatings. 10. Holography. In-line holography and off-axis holography. Various holographic schemes including reflection holograms, rainbow holograms. Holographic data storage.11. Fiber optics. Waveguides and modes. Fiber coupling. Types of fiber: single and multi-mode. Fiber communication systems including couplers and switches, time division and wavelength division multiplexing. Fiber dispersion. Fiber amplifiers.7. Class/laboratory schedule: Two 90 minute lectures and a one hour discussion section per week. Seven half hour lab demonstration sessions per semester.8. Contribution of course meeting the professional component: This course covers engineering topics. It provides introductory laboratory experience. It is approximately 75%science and 25% design.9. Relationship of course to program objectives: EECS 119 requires students to apply a fundamental knowledge of optical physics and optical design principles to solve optical engineering problems. Students gain an understanding of conceptual foundations and emerging applications of optical and electro-optical systems.10. Prepared by: Professor Bokor (March 18,
