Introduce a global vision of Optics, going through the principles and methods of Geometric Optics, Optical Wave, Coherent Optics, Quantum and Nonlinear Optics, as well as other topics of modern optics, including some of its applications in technology.



It is intended that students not only develop knowledge and understanding at a basic level of these subjects, master the fundamental aspects of modeling and associated calculation methodologies, but also develop an overall view that allows them to develop these themes in more advanced or experimental curricular units.

Theoretical classes of exposition and theoretical-practical classes of discussion and resolution of problems.The students must prepare the theoretical classes in advance, through a critical reading of the contents of the bibliography previously indicated.



Type of Assessment: Assessment Type Distributed evaluation with final exam Assessment Components



Frequency Conditions: The student will be excluded from attendance when there is more than a quarter of theoretical-practical classes planned.



Evaluation formula:



During the semester, three tests will be carried out over the semester on what has been taught until then. The mean of the tests corresponds to the continuous evaluation component (CA).



During the semester, and taking into account the participation in the classes, test results and exams, the teacher builds a component of the evaluation called global assessment (AG), which allows, as a rule, a fine-tuning of the final grade.





The final exam corresponds to the evaluation component called Final Assessment (AF)

The final grade of each student is determined as:



max (45% AC + 45% AF + 10% AG, 90% AF + 10% AG)





Observations: 1) The continuous evaluation of the student by the lecturer during the theoretical and theoretical-practical classes allows a fine adjustment of the classifications obtained by the students in the different tests. 2) The jury of the discipline reserves the right to call students to take an oral test whenever it deems it appropriate. 3) The tests have the duration of 1h30 maximum and correspond to 1 to 3 problems. 4) Any situation not foreseen in this discipline regulation must be communicated to the teacher during the first two weeks of classes or, if this situation arises from events that occurred later, should be communicated to the teacher until one week after the facts that support it.

To obtain attendance, students must attend about 2/3 of the classes given, as well as deliver through all assessment elements.

As set forth in the "Final Grade Calculation Formula", students may make grade improvement by performing final exams that replace continuous assessment.
