1.Course Description:   
<br>One semester based introduction to optics. 
<br>Topics cover geometrical optics and wave optics. In geometrical optics, ray-
<br>tracing, lens design, basic optical instruments will be covered. In wave optic, 
<br>wave equations, interference, diffraction, image formation, coherence, polarization 
<br>will be discussed.    
<br>This course aims to provide students an overview of fundamental optics and to 
<br>introduce related optical applications in biomedical field.
