Course content
Nowadays optics and related technologies are of importance in many fields, including mechanical engineering. In this class, you will study basic optics and lasers, which is the most important light source in modern optical technology, and their applications.
Purpose of class
First, you will learn basic optics, beginning with Maxwell's equation. Next, you will learn the principle of laser oscillation, and the characteristics of laser beam.

Then, you will be introduced various kinds of optics/laser applications, such as optical spectroscopy and microscopy.
Goals and objectives
  1. Students can explain how optical phenomena and optical technologies are used in mechanical engineering
  2. Students can explain basic principles of optics
  3. Students can explain the principle of laser oscillation, and can explain the characteristics of laser beam based on the principle of laser oscillation
  4. Students can explain various kinds of applications of optical technology (including lasers)
