Course content
1. Gemetric parameters - cardinal points positions, focal length, pupils, geometric brightness, field of view 2. Imaging parameters - aberrations, resolution, optical transfer function. 3. Measurement of geometric aberrations: Hartmann method, crossed slits method, moiré, photoelectric measurement, shadow methods. 4. Mesurement of wave aberration: interferometers with reference beam, shear interferometers, pinhole interferometer, Shack-Hartmann detector. 5. Subjective evaluation of image quality - resolution, readability, contrast, color reproduction, point / line / edge image, brightness uniformity. 6. Objective measurement of image quality - point / line / edge spread function, optical transfer function, modulation transfer function. 7. Photometric parameters - transmissivity, brightness, spectral transmittance, stray light. 8. Evalutaion of electro-optica imaging systems - sampling, quantisation, noise. 9. Evalutaion of infrared imaging systems. 10. Evalutaion of syystems with matrix detectors. 11. Measurement and evaluation of nonimaging optical systems - illuminators. 12. Measurement and evaluation of nonimaging optical systems - concetrators.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic Lecture(Interpretation, Training), Dialogic Lecture (Discussion, Dialog, Brainstorming)
Learning outcomes
Provide comprehensive review of methods and measuring instruments for measurement and evaluation of both imaging and non-imaging optical systems.
The students will acquire an overview of the parameters of optical systems and their interrelationships, and will become familiar with basic experimental methods and instrumentation for their measurement and evaluation.
Prerequisites
No prerequisites required.
