Class Hours/Week: 2 - 0 Credit：2
Category：Specialty
Prerequisites：Physics, Ordinary chemistry, Applied optics
Audience：Junior
Teaching manner：Multimedia teaching
Course objectives and basic requirements:
The course provides a general introduction to the structures and related properties of optical medium materials including optical glasses, optical crystals, as well as optical organic materials so that the students can grasp the principles of optical materials, The students will also have an in-depth understanding on the fabrication process of optical components through studying of this course. The main aim of this course is to help students catch on the fundamental concepts including refractive index and absorption of glasses, micro-structure and tensor of crystals, linear & nonlinear optical principle of optical crystals, and physical & chemical characteristics of optical organic materials. The students can therefore be familiar with the traditional and modern fabrication process of the optical components mentioned above. Another purpose of this course is to inspire students’ research interests of optical materials and optical components fabrication technology, and provide a base for students learning the further optical specialty courses successfully.
