Optical engineering is now commonplace in a variety of industrial systems and processes. The advent of novel electro-optics (photonics) devices such as laser diodes and LEDs coupled with advances in sensors and detectors have resulted in numerous commercial systems ranging from consumer items to precise optical metrological tools for inspections and measurement to 3D Additive Manufacturing. This course aims to introduce important basic concepts in Optical Engineering that would enable better understanding of the underlying principles of various optical systems for them to be suitably designed, fabricated, improved and modified. The course comprises three modules that highlight basic optical principles with emphasis on physical concepts with suitable applications and demonstrations.
