PHYS 437 - Optics with Lab(4 credits)
Prerequisite: PHYS 244 with a minimum grade of “C-“
Corequisite: PHYS 437L
This course will use discrete ‘off the shelf’ optical components used in research and industrial settings. The experiments encompass those in the ray optics and wave optical limits (interference phenomena) through basic Fourier Optics. Theoretical foundations will be included, however, the emphasis is placed on lab experiments, quantifiable results and lab reports. Advanced optical equipment from BSU optical research programs will be introduced and, when possible, used. A final optics project will be required along with professional paper and presentation. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory weekly.
