Computational Optics (COP/COP)5 ECTS
(englische Bezeichnung: Computational Optics)
(Prüfungsordnungsmodul: Computational Optics)

Lectures:

• • Simulation Methods in Optics
    (Vorlesung mit Übung, 4 SWS, Norbert Lindlein et al., Mon, 14:00 - 17:30, AOT-Kursraum)

Inhalt:

1. Ray tracing: Principle and applications
2. Aberrations: which type of aberrations exist, how do they depend on the numerical aperture and the field angle
3. Diffraction and free space propagation by the angular spectrum of plane waves
4. Debye integral in scalar optics
5. Wave-optical scalar simulation methods: thin element approximation, BPM (mostly the simple paraxial one), WPM, some comments to numerical implementation
6. Waveguide theory (mode solver and evaluation of dispersion for various type of waveguides: step-index fibre, hollow-core PCF, filled with gas…)
7. Nonlinear propagation of pulses in fibre (typically, the resolution of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation so as to study the theory of integration and the split-step method)
8. Gaussian beam and ABCD matrices. (Object oriented programming)
