Learning activities and teaching methods
Dialogic Lecture (Discussion, Dialog, Brainstorming)
  • Preparation for the Exam - 600 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
The aim is to give students information about theory of optical speckle fields and their applications.
Knowledge. Show knowledge of the issue of propagation of optical fields, statistical properties of speckle fields and their interpretations and applications in the mechanics of continuum, show knowledge of terminology and issue of optical fractals and their use in the theory of propagation of optical fields.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of the undergraduate physics.
