Introduction. Interpretation of the nature of light (from the early ideas to the new discoveries). Signals and systems (optical filtering, characterization of signals, sampling linear systems). Geometrical optics (paraxial approximation, matrix methods, aberrations). Wave optics (Maxwell equations, solution, properties, coherence). Interference of light (conditions, examples, interferometers). Diffraction of light (appriximations, Fresnel, Fraunhofer, FT property of lens). Holography (historical introduction, mathematical description, classification of holograms). Digital holography (concept, recording conditions, problems, solutions). Applications of holography (display, holographic interfermetry, optical correlating). Holographic interferometry (dmathematical description, fringe interpretation, properties, examples). Correlation filters (classical, synthetic, matrix notation, types). Hybrid opto-electronic systems (light modulators, examples of pattern recognition systems).
