Description
| OM00CA06 | Geometrical Optics (5 cr) |
| Prerequisites | Study course OM00CV02 Optometrist Mathematics and Physics or similar information. |
| Objectives | The candidates should demonstrate fundamental knowledge and insight into geometrical optics in order for the candidate to be able to understand and solve problems related to the eye and optical instruments/lenses, their function and correction. Knowledge and understanding should be demonstrated in the areas of: (1) refraction at single spherical or plane surfaces, (2) thin lenses, (3) thick lenses, (4) aberrations, (5) apertures, (6) spherocylindrical lenses, (7) thin prisms, (8) mirrors, and (ophthalmic and optical instruments. The aim is to achieve knowledge of the fundamentals of geometrical optics and how they apply to the human eye. |
| Content | Refraction at single spherical or plane surfaces (Curvature and sagitta, Refractive index and rectilinear propagation, Vergence and dioptric power, Object-image relationships, including apparent depth, Ray tracing, nodal point, and nodal ray, Lateral (trans linear) and angular magnification, Snell's law of refraction). Thin lenses (Vergence: dioptric and effective power, Object-image relationships, Lateral (trans linear) and angular magnification, Thin lens systems, Prismatic effect (Prentice's rule and prism effectivity), Ray tracing, optical center, and optic axis). Thick lenses (Cardinal points, Vertex power and equivalent power, Lateral (trans linear) and angular magnification, Reduced systems) Aberrations (Spherical, Gama, Oblique astigmatism, Curvature of field, Distortion, Chromatic (longitudinal and lateral), Higher order aberrations). Apertures (Entrance and exit pupil size and location, Depth of focus, depth of field, hyperfocal distance, Field of view and half illumination). Spherocylindrical lenses (Location of foci, image planes, principal meridians, and circle of least confusion, Obliquely crossed pherocylindrical lenses, Transposition, Prismatic effect). Thin prisms (Unit of measurement (prism diopter), Prism deviation, Combination of thin prisms, Resolution of an oblique prism into horizontal and vertical components, Total internal reflection) Mirrors (Planar and spherical reflection, Proportion of light reflected from a surface (Fresnel's law), Focal power, focal length, and curvature Object-image relationships, Magnification, Lens / mirror systems, Ray Tracing) Wave front technology |
