Abstract
Optical system analysis and design constitute one of the core activities in optical engineering. This activity is currently carried out with readily available software. Notwithstanding the significant roles played by the latter in bringing about a paradigm shift in the field, proper appreciation and efficient use of software call for knowledge and understanding of the physical principles involved in optical system analysis and design. A large number of excellent books and publications by experts deal with different aspects of the problem. However, newcomers in the field, and practicing analysts and designers with no formal training in the subject feel bewildered by the plethora of information. The course on ‘Foundations of Optical System Analysis and Design’ is contemplated to alleviate the problem.
