Course detail

Design of Instruments and Optomechanics II

FSI-TK2Acad. year: 2024/2025

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.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Active participation in seminars and three written tests.
Exam: written.
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.

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.
This course enables students to acquire knowledge of the design of advanced optomechanical instruments and devices with respect to the correct mechanical and optical functionality. Students will be systematically acquainted with advanced optical instruments, their construction, adjustment and overall approach to this field, so that they can design these instruments.
