Examination

The final grade in the Optical Physics course is assessed through :

* Laboratory tasks - during the course (2 lab sessions, 4 topics), 2.0 credits, grade scale: Pass/Fail
* Final examination - at the end of the course, 4.0 credits, grade scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
Laboratory tasks The l Lab sessions are run throughout the course, starting from week 39. Lab instructions should be downloaded and studied before the actual lab time. They encompass four sets of experiments:

* Principal planes
* Microscopy
* Michelson interferometer
* Fourier optics Examples of Fourier optics in Matlab: FourierLabCircles.m, FourierLabGratings.m, FourierLabFiltering.m ¶
Final examination
Each lab session lasts four hours and comprises two experimental sets (1 & 2 and 3 & 4). Sign-up sheets to allocate the lab slots among course attendants will be distributed in week 37. ¶

Final examination The final exam takes place in week 44. The exam is written and consists of six tasks which mostly require a combination of knowledge from different chapters. The textbook, notes, old exams, calculator (not computer because of WLAN risk) and a handbook of your choice are recommended aid on the exam.
