Course objectives
The lecture “Geometric optics” is based on the utilization of basics geometric principles. In the course the ray optics approach is used, the paths of light rays are followed and image formation determined by how the rays are bent as they interact with optical elements. The scope of the lectures is tailored to the needs of bachelor study of Optometry.
Syllabus
  • Laws of Geometric optics, the refractive index (or index of refraction) of a medium, the refractive index of air. Dispersion, Abbe number, catalogue of optical glasses and other optical materials. Fermats principle, derivation of the law of refraction (also known as Snells law or Descartes law) and law of reflection using Fermats principle. The planparallel slab, refraction through a prism. Minimum deviation by a prism, optical wedge. Imaging properties of a spherical surface, imaging in the paraxial approximation. Principal points of a spherical surface. Imaging with a system of spherical surfaces. Principal, nodal and focal points and focal lengths. The imaging equations (in the paraxial area). The general, Newtons and Gaussian form of the imaging equations. Imaging with thin and thick lenses. Imaging with lens systems. Diaphragms in optical systems. Calculation of aperture angle and a field of view. Vignetting. Gullstrands imaging equation. Short repetition of the discussed topics. Final written test.
