Genomsnitt: 2.88

- I think that this course should be given throughout two terms as there is a lot of material. Having multiple lecturers (although all of them being excellent), somehow disperses attention. » (Excellent)

19. Is there any topic in the course that should have been given more lecture time?

- more energy to the concepts perhaps... to get a real feeling for the different ways to observe optics»
- Fourier Optics.»
- The basic interferometry theory. »
- Optolectronic devices were briefly mentioned. Coherence and its role in statistical optics should be emphasized. »
- Don´,t know»

20. Is there any topic in the course that should have been given less lecture time?

- no»
- Ray optics. Why spend so much time on that?»
- The basic electromagnetic theory is very unnecessary for students studying MPMPE, but maybe it"s needed to give "outsiders" a better base of knowledge.»
- Don´,t know»

21. Is there any topic in the course that you found extra difficult to understand?

- double refraction »
- Fourier Optics.»
- Fourier Optics and statistical optics. Maybe it would be possible to also include statistical optics in the lab?»
- Holography wasn´,t entirely clear. »
- Fourier optics»

22. Is there any topic in the course that you found extra easy to understand?

- atom/photon interaction»
- Fiber optics»

23. What should definitely be preserved to next year?

- homeassignments»
- Everything»
- The lab!»
- The home assignments, the lab, and Jörgen"s lecture.»
- Home assignments Open book exam»

24. What should definitely be changed to next year?

- there should be weekly workplans»
- Nothing»
- The exam was too easy»

25. Additional comments

- happy new year»
- Some course time should be spent on discussing applications exclusively, regardless if they are related to statistical, wave, ray, etc. optics. Information processing applications relying on light/photonics weren´,t mentioned. In the context of quantum optics for example, applications to quantum computing should at least be mentioned. Semiqualitative properties of light such as color, hue, brightness, etc. such be addressed as well. Thank you very much. »
