This course is composed of a coordinated set of graduate (599) and undergraduate (399) independent studies. The basic theme is the theoretical description, simulation, and production of computer generated holograms or CGH's. The central photo-tool in the Laboratory for Diffractive and Micro-Optics will be used to fabricate actual high-quality CGH's from student's designs. For a more complete description of the course follow the hyperlink CGH-Lite Description. Note that some of the subjects wander about the calendar as our discussions develop.
