Learning outcomes
Students will acquire basic knowledge in the field of radiometry. They will understand the fundamental laws on which advanced theory and methods of radiometric measurements and calibrations are based. They will also learn about the various radiometric properties of materials and how to describe radiometric sources and detectors. The course will also include practical tasks in which students will try out not only a virtual simulation environment, but also laboratory techniques for measuring optical elements and light sources such as headlights from the automotive industry or mirror segments and filters for astroparticle experiments.
1) Knowledge of basic radiometric quantities and terminology. 2) Knowledge of radiometric properties of materials. 3) Insight into the generation, propagation, and detection of optical radiation. 4) Overview of radiometric calibrations and measurements. 5) Familiarization with laboratory optical measurement techniques. 6) Introduction to Monte Carlo ray tracing simulation methods.
