We look at the vectorial nature of light and describe polarization in terms of Jones vectors
-
Diffraction from a double slit is discussed. The convolution theorem is presented and the grating equation is derived. (incomplete)
-
We look at the relationship between far-field (Fraunhofer) diffraction and the Fourier transform, and explore the diffraction pattern of a uniformly illuminated circular aperture, which leads to the Rayleigh criterion for resolution in an optical system.

We discuss unconventional types of fibers including photonic crystal fibers
-
We introduce the basic principles and parameters associated with fiber optics
-
We introduce the coherence function and look at the relationship between coherence, bandwidth and linewidth.
-
Fourier Series are introduced and are generalized to the Fourier sine and cosine tansform
-
We look at the transmission of a Fabry-Perot interferometer and discuss properties like the free spectral range, finesse and linewidth.
-
We investigate the Michelson interferometer and the relationship between physical parameters and the interference term.
-
We look at the interference term present when two waves interfere and discuss the effect coherence has on fringe visibility
-
We look at the difference between group velocity and phase velocity in a dispersive material and introduce the Fourier transform
-
We investigate the behavior of multiple waves that overlap in space and time.
-
We look at Maxwell's equations and use them to find the wave equation for electromagnetic radiation. We then investigate various solutions to the wave equation.
-
We introduce thick lenses and discuss parameters necessary to describe them. We go on to introduce ray matrices.
-
We look at methods for solving imaging problems using ray matrices.
-
We introduce the thin lens equation and the lens makers formula and the concept of ray tracing.
