      The goal Introducing students to concepts of spatial frequencies and application of Fourier analysis on analysis and synthesis of optical imaging systems.
      The outcome Students should be able to apply Fourier analysis on analysis of a single lens image formation, to design spatial filters, to perform synthesis of more complex optical systems according to required specifications, to understand the way how holographic memories work and the role of holographic elements in optical fibers in optical pulses shaping and processing.
