Course objectives
The principles and functions of basic optical instruments. The characteristics of eye. Spectacles, magnifiers, telescopes, microscopes, cameras, projection instruments. Telemeters and refractometers. Focometers, monochromators and spectrophotometers. The course gives a general overview of optics and optical devices in response to the need of ophthalmic optics for the perfect vision and eye protection against the harmful effects of unwanted electromagnetic radiation. It also discusses the basic photometric units and the most common types of light sources.
Syllabus
  • Overview of the division of optics and optical instruments – classical optics, optoelectonics, coherent optics. International system of units SI base and derived units. The electromagnetic spectrum. Continues and line spectrum. Characteristic wavelengths in the visible wavelength range. Vision and lighting, light and vision, photometric units - luminous flux, luminous intensity (luminance), brightness, lighting, lighting in the field of ophthalmic optics. Changing of the image lighting by transferring the light across a imaging system. Focometer and its optical schematic. Monochromators - optical schematic. Refraction of the light by a prism, the angle of minimum deviation, dispersion and resolving power of the prisms. Dispersion on the grating. Dispersion of light, resolving power of gratings. First and second order spectra. Fabry-Perot interferometer. Dispersion,area of dispersion, resolving power, image contrast. Spectrophotometer – optical schematic, the principle of measuring the spectral transmission of spectacle glasses. Lasers. Stimulated emission of radiation. Energy levels of atoms. Laser resonators.
