KONDO, Naoki
  Elective  2 credits
【Doctor's program・full year】

1.
Outline
Students will learn the followings in this course,
(1) The canonical form of geometric optics
(2) Hamilton and Jacobi's theory of the wavefronts and light rays
(3) Linear optics and the theory of image formation from the modern view point
(4) Simplectic maps.
2.
Objectives
Technologies for dealing with image information are in a new developing era today due to the recent astounding evolution of computing power.
However, at the very core of these advancements lie the seemingly hackneyed theories of geometric optics and image formation.
These theories have been often taken as phenomenological, but they can actually be firmly founded on the physical theory of light rays in 4D phase space (Canonical transformation theory) and are also in deep connection with up-to-date imaging modalities as 4D light field imaging.
In this course we shall learn, by reading the textbook and some part of the reference book in turn, the geometric optics and the theory of image formation from the modern view point of the canonical transformation theory and the simplectic maps in order to comprehend them enough to be prepared for the advancement of the 21st century image science research.

Grading Policy
You will be graded by the presentation at your turn (70%) and report marks (30%).
Comments are appropriately provided for feedback.
4.
Textbook and Reference
Textbook
Students may choose either of textbooks below:
[1] Yoshitaka Yamamoto, "Canonical theory of geometric optics", Suugaku Shobou, in Japanese (2014),
[2] Kurt Bernardo Wolf, "Geometric Optics on Phase Space", Springer (2004).
5.
Requirements (Assignments)
Read the assigned part of the textbook carefully and prepare the necessary materials in order to be able to answer colleagues' questions (3 hours~).
The schedule is in accordance with [1], but you can basically find the same contents in [2].
