Description
| OM00CA08 | Visual Optics (3 cr) |
| Prerequisites | Participation in the OM00CA06 Geometrical Optics and OM00CA07 Physical Optics courses. |
| Objectives | The candidate should demonstrate fundamental knowledge and insight into visual optics in order for the candidate to be able to understand and solve problems related to image formation, both qualitative and quantitative, for the candidate to investigate the optics of the human visual system and refractive correction. Knowledge and understanding should be demonstrated in the areas of: (1) schematic eye models (2) dioptric of the eye, (3) entopic phenomena, (4) quality of retinal image, (5) radiation and the eye. |
| Content | Schematic eye models (Dioptric components, Cardinal points, entrance and exit pupil, Ametropia: far point, near point, correction Accommodation: amplitude and effectivity, Astigmatism, including correction, Retinal image size, spectacle magnification, and relative spectacle magnification). Dioptric of the eye (Characteristics of components (curvature, thickness, separation, refractive indices, and axial length), Reference angles and axes, Catoptric (Purkinje) images, Retinal image size, Optical function of the pupil) Quality of the retinal image (Aberrations (spherical, chromatic, coma, curvature, oblique astigmatism, distortion), Diffraction , Stray light, Point and line spread functions). Radiation and the eye Radiometry (radiant, intensity, radiance, and irradiance) Photometry (Luminosity function, luminous intensity, luminance, and illuminance, Lambertian surfaces-cosine laws) Spectral transmission of the ocular media Retinal illuminance Effects of radiation (especially infrared, visible and ultraviolet) |
