1.Course Desc<x>ription:   
<br>
<br>This course aims to provide students an overview of fundamental optics and 
<br>related optical 
<br>applications in biomedical field.   
<br>It is a one-semester ba<x>sed introduction to optics. 
<br>In this class, we will essentially introduce geometrical optics and wave 
<br>optics. 
<br>In geometrical optics, ray-tracing, lens design, basic optical instruments 
<br>will be covered. 
<br>In wave optic, wave equations, interference, diffraction, image formation, 
<br>coherence, polarization will be discussed.
