Course Objectives:
This course introduces students the concepts of using Fourier analysis method and linear system theory to deal with diffraction, imaging and optical information processing. Students are required to understand the fundamentals of Fourier optics and investigate their applications to current science and technology.
Specific course outcomes include:
1. Students are required to understand two-dimensional Fourier transform and develop ability to use the Fourier analysis method as a key role to deal with diffraction and imaging in optics.
2. Understand the mathematics of liner system theory and apply liner system theory to two-dimensional signals, specifically, two-dimensional images.
3. Understand the main features of the Huygens-Fresnel scalar theory of optical diffraction.
4. Analyze optical imaging system based on the frequency response function.
5. Prepare student with better understanding of modern optics and imaging system.
