Outline and Purpose of the Course Lectures focusing on wave optics, which is an important aspect of study in the field of optoelectronics. Specifically, the fundamental properties of light waves, optical phenomena such as refraction, transmission, reflection, interference, diffraction as well as the analysis of each, and the fundamentals of fourier optics. In addition, the principles of basic optical devices and elements that apply these phenomena will also be covered.
Course Goals Cultivate an understanding of the basic principles of light waves.
Schedule and Contents Overview of optical engineering, 1 session
These sessions will discuss the historical development and engineering significance of this field brought about by the emergence of lasers after providing examples of the relationship between optical engineering and everyday applications of optoelectronics.

Basic properties of light waves, 2-3 session
These sessions will describe the fundamentals of the treatment of light wave propagation in isotropic and anisotropic media based on Maxwell’s equations and explain light wave polarization.

Light wave refraction/transmission/reflection, 3-4 sessions
These sessions will discuss total reflection and optical elements as applications after taking up non-absorbing media and explaining the Snell and Fresnel formulas which form the basis for understanding the phenomena occurring at the boundary between two different media. Lectures will also discuss the behavior of light waves in absorbing media.

Interference and coherence, 3-4 sessions
These sessions will discuss the concept of coherence of light with respect to interference between two light waves as well as the basic concepts guiding the operation of optical devices such as Michelson interferometers, spectrometers, Fabry-Perot optical resonators, and thin-film optical devices using interference phenomena. In addition, the principle of a laser oscillator will be described as one application of optical resonators.

Light wave diffraction, 3-4 sessions
These sessions will introduce the concept of spatial frequency and discuss the treatment of light wave diffraction by Fourier transform based on the fundamental theory of scalar diffraction with specific examples of diffraction images.

Confirmation of learning achievement, 1 session
Confirm (evaluate) achievement of the learning objectives of the course.
Evaluation Methods and Policy On the periodic written evaluations, a passing score is considered to be 60 points or higher.
Course Requirements Electromagnetics, Fourier transforms
Study outside of Class (preparation and review) Follow the formulas presented in the lectures and textbooks until the derivation process is understood. Lectures will highlight the most important areas to understand, so please focus on review.

It is strongly recommended that students try to solve the exercises assigned for each lecture, and not just listen to the explanations only.
