Details | The proof of achievement is based on a software project that deals with the design of an imaging optical system (evaluation with 60% share of the module grade). In addition, a German-language paper on selected topics in optical design is required (evaluation with 40% share of the module grade). The basis for the work is English-language technical literature. |
---|---|
Minimum standard | For the successful realization of the software project, basic knowledge of the used design software is required. Furthermore, the modelling of real optical systems in the context of the software used must be understood. In the preparation of the paper, it is necessary that English technical literature can be made acessible in terms of language and content. In addition, the relevant content must be reproduced in a meaningful technical text in German. |
