Skills - The student is able to:
- describe the propagation, reflection and transmission of light rays and optical beams through optical elements
- apply Maxwells equations, in particular to analyze optical waveguides
- set up equations for resonators, optical amplifiers and lasers
- carry out basic optical measurements
- characterize optical waveguides
- measure the spectrum of a light source
General expertise - The student is able to:
- analyse optical problems
- interpret optical measurements results
- handle optical components and equipment
