The main parts of this course are: the geometrical optics theory and the wave theory for light propagation - including the Fermat`s principle, the optical ray equation, the Huygens - Fresnel principle, the Fresnel - Kirchhoff diffraction, the reflection and the refraction of light waves at interfaces, the propagation of light waves in anisotropic media; the statistical properties of light waves - including the temporal coherence and the spatial coherence of light waves, the polarization of light waves; optical instruments and devices - including spherical mirrors, thin lenses, ideal imaging systems, microscopes, telescopes, wave-front division based interferometers, the Fabry - Perot interferometer, spectrometers with gratings, the Lyot filter, optical information processing systems, phase contrast microscopes, the principle of the holography; basics of the photometry and the colorimetry; quantum properties of the light.
Physics
物理（Physics）是一门自然科学，也是绝大多数科学的基础学科，注重于研究物质、能量、空间、时间，尤其是它们各自的性质与彼此之间的相互关系。从广义来说，物理学探索分析大自然所发生的现象，以了解其规则。物理专业主要分应用物理、生物物理、原子物理、核物理、粒子物理、量子物理、凝聚态物理、等离子物理、高能物理、天体物理与宇宙学等多种专业分支。
