    Description
    An introductory hands-on course in wave optics describing the properties of light and its interaction with objects using wave equations. Topics include: concepts of superposition, polarization, interference and diffraction; the interaction of light waves with small objects such as wires, apertures and multilayered coatings; mathematical techniques needed to quantify interactions.
