Goals

The objective of this course is to understand the behaviour and the challenges of optical measurement and imaging systems. This course is based on the study of optical instruments such as spectrometers, cameras, telescopes and optical coherence tomography. Through these examples, the behaviour of optical systems, their conception rules and limits are presented.
