The aim of the course is to enable students, future mechanical engineers specializing in military systems design, to acquire the necessary knowledge for cooperation with designers of complex optical and optoelectronic systems. After attending lectures and exercises, students should be able to set up and calculate basic optical systems.
The course enables students, future mechanical engineers specializing in military systems, to: - set up basic optical systems (lenses, working systems, oculars, Keplerian and Galilean telescope configurations); - calculate optical systems using modern optical design software.
Fundamental concepts and definitions used in optics. Ideal and paraxial optics as basic approximations used in the design of optical systems. 1. Theory of aberration, which defines the deviation of a real image from an ideal image. 2. Evaluation of the quality of images formed by optical systems. 3. Losses of light energy during propagation through optical systems. 4. Basic quantities and laws in optoelectronics. The working principle of a laser. Basic components of a laser system. Laser rangefinder.
Description of the major optical components that make up classical optical systems. Calculation of the propagation of ideal and paraxial rays through optical systems. Calculation of the propagation of real rays through optical systems. Designing telescopic systems (Keplerian and Galilean telescope configurations). Working principle of an image amplifier. Working principle of an optical radiation detector. Detailed explanation of the working principle of a CCD detector. Working principle of a laser and presentation of the basic components of a laser system. Detailed explanation of a laser rangefinder. Working principle of thermal imaging and presentation of the basic components of various types of thermal imaging devices.
There are no special prerequisites for taking the course.
