Course content
The course will introduce the basis toward optical measurement methods for engineering applications. Students will be introduced to different sources [e.g., lasers and light-emitting diodes] and their coherence properties, geometrical optics that includes lens design, aberrations in imaging systems, Fiber optics, Light sensors [e.g., photodiodes, photomultiplier tubes, CMOS (Charged Metal Oxide Semiconductor), CCD(Charged Coupled Devices) sensor devices], Fourier optics and applications, Laser Speckle noise and its applications, and Holography. Focus will be given to practice of skills for designing through incorporation of optical components for practical and precise measurement applications.
Purpose of class
The course is to provide students with the background in optics and introduce them to different optical measurement techniques available in characterization and testing of materials and equipment.

Evaluation method and criteria
The students will be evaluated based on their:
activity during the class (presentation and discussion) and midterm presentation will contribute 60% of the grade, Final examination will be a assignment that includes submission of a 5 min recorded video and a written report contributing 40% of the grade. Students will be asked to self reflect and write a report based on the knowledge acquired and how they would apply gained knowledge or improve to suit to the modern world requirements.
60% or more of the total score is needed for getting the course credit.
