Seminars

Seminar

The seminar accompanies the lecture and takes place biweekly on Wednesdays, 15:15 – 16:45, in SR 532, starting on 15.04.2025.

Exercise sheets will be published on Moodle before each seminar session. Students are expected to work through the exercises on their own and bring their solutions to the seminar for discussion. The exercises are not graded and do not need to be submitted.

Lab Course

At the end of the course, we will conduct a block lab course where students will have the opportunity to apply the principles of Fourier Optics in a hands-on setting. Students should form groups of 4-5 people, and each group will be allocated two days for experimentation.

The lab course is designed to promote free experimentation. Each group will:

• On the first day: Brainstorm and develop ideas for experiments using the provided optical equipment, start with experiments
• On the second day: Carry out the planned experiments and write up the results in the afternoon

We will provide a set of optical equipment for each group to explore concepts from Fourier Optics in a practical way. Possible dates for the lab course will be published in the second half of the semester. A sign-up form will be made available for registration.
