After completing this course, students should obtain a better understanding of the parameters which effect the designs of optical systems. Students should be able to apply geometrical optics methods, such as lens formulas, graphical methods and ray-tracing, to analyze optical systems. Describe tools (for example MTF, PSF, spot diagrams, or lists of aberration coefficients) for system evaluation, and apply these tools to judge the suitability of an optical system designed for a specific task. Finally the should be able to use computer based ray-tracing software to analyze and optimize optical systems.
