Currently Teaching

IMGS-633
2 Credits
This course describes Fourier transform of continuous functions, followed by its application to describe optical imaging systems in the wave model, including the concepts of point spread function, optical transfer function, and image resolution. Analysis of optical imaging systems using the ray model for systems composed of one thick lens and two thin lenses are considered.
