Nature of Light
This course examines the theories on the nature of light. It considers the corpuscular model, the light undulant model, wave surface concept, quantic and dual models, and the energetic model. It examines parallel and divergent light hazes impacting on a surface: reflection and refraction.
Academic Supervisor: Ashraf Elsayed Mohamed
Optics & The Human Eye
This course explores the pupils in optical systems, the eye as composed system, and the cardinal elements of a composed optical system.
Academic Supervisor: Severino Rey Nodar
Optics
This course examines the luminous beam concepts and refraction index. It deals with the origin of the refraction index and chromatic dispersion. It considers the laws of optics for homogeneous means and isotrops, some applications of the Fermat principle, the theorem of Malus-Dupin, the theory of optical representation, optical systems, object, and image.
Academic Supervisor: Guido Fuortes
Spectroscopy
This course covers multiple topics in spectroscopy. These range from atomic emissions and absorption spectroscopy to determination and description of color, methods of excitation and detection, molecular electronic spectroscopy, instrumental characteristics, applications to quantitative determinations, sources and control of errors, and interferences.
Academic Supervisor: Enrique Parra Crego
Optical Lenses
This course explains divergent and convergent lenses, focal points, focal distance, focal plans, power, increases, and composed systems. It considers cardinal elements: focus and focal plans, points and principal plans, points and nodal plans, paraxial equations of correspondence, and systems coupling: bulk lens, lenses, and mirror couplings.
Academic Supervisor: Guido Fuortes
Optical Systems
This course examines the opening diaphragms of an optical system, the pupils of entry and exit, field diaphragm, lucarnas of entry and exit, and field size and limitations. It explores the optical systems and their aberrations. It studies the optical aberration concept, monochromatic aberrations, spherical aberration, comma, astigmatism, field curvature, distortion, chromatic aberrations, and achromatic doublets.
Academic Supervisor: Guido Fuortes
Optical Alteration
This course examines emmetropia, ametropies, myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. It also considers distant vision systems: telescopes, eye wear, and optical prisms.
Academic Supervisor: Guido Fuortes
Optical Instruments
This course examines the photographic camera and other optical instruments: the magnifier, the microscope, and optical and digital image processing. It also explores visual processing models, ophthalmologic instrumentation, lasers, and biomedical applications.
