CONTENTS This subject aims to give the students a basic knowledge of Physic Optics, based on the wave electromagnetic theory of light. We will first study the characteristic phenomena of the wave-type nature of light - interferences and diffraction. Then, in the context of the electromagnetic theory of light, we will approach the study of light polarization and light propagation through homogeneous material media (isotropic and anisotropic). Finally, we will introduce the corpuscular aspects of light, the basic light-matter interaction processes and the elementary problems in the operation of a laser. As a complement to the theoretical study of these topics we will solve cases and carry out the corresponding laboratory practicals. Lesson 1. Light as a wave Lesson 2. Interferences Lesson 3. Diffraction Lesson 4. Polarization Lesson 5. Optic properties of the homogeneous material media. Lesson 6. Laser foundations. PRACTICALS: 1. Interferences by division of the wave front: Fresnel Biprism I. 2. Interferences by division of the wave front: Fresnel Biprism II. 3. Introduction to Diffraction 4. Experiences with lineary polarized light. 5. Reflection and refraction in a sheet. 6. Net spectroscopy. 7. Computerized simulations. Laboratory sessions have a duration of two and a half hours each. Students will carry out six practicals out of these, in |
