Semester	S1
ECTS Credits	6
Workload	TP(60H)
Scientific area	Physics
Entry requirements	N/A
Learning outcomes	The main objective of this course is to disseminate the principles of Computational Optics and its applications, as well as the basic concepts of physical and geometric optics that allow for its understanding. By the end of this course, the student should be able to understand the physical, mathematical, and computational fundamentals applied to the analysis and processing of different image modalities. The student should be able to create optical and optoelectronic assemblies, mainly based on digital holography, for the analysis of biological samples and the non-destructive analysis of surfaces. The student should also be able to use image processing techniques in the optical phase reconstruction of different types of samples.
