Physical Optics

Current offering — AY2025/2026 Semester 2

This course aims to equip you with the basic concepts and problem solving skills in physical optics and electromagnetic wave phenomena. You will develop physical intuition and analytical skills which are important for studying the detailed nature and propagation of light wave, its polarization, interference and diffraction properties. You will solve problems based on electromagnetic theory of light, superposition of light waves, polarization, interference and diffraction. These knowledge and skills lay the foundation for subsequent higher level courses in photonics and applied physics which would also be very useful in the engineering and design profession.
