This course introduces the fundamental principles and applications of illumination optics. Starting with the basic concepts of light, it explores various lighting facts, including technology, phenomena, and systems commonly encountered in everyday life. Serving as a foundation for related illumination optics courses, the main objective is to develop students' essential optical skills in lighting engineering. The course aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of illumination optics principles and their practical implications. Through a combination of theoretical lectures and practical demonstrations, students will acquire a solid foundation in fundamental concepts like light propagation, reflection, refraction, diffraction, and dispersion. These concepts form the basis for understanding how light interacts with materials and environments. Upon completion, students will have a solid foundation in lighting optics, serving as a springboard for specialized studies in areas such as architectural lighting design, stage lighting, automotive lighting, and sustainable lighting solutions. The acquired knowledge and skills will prepare students for careers in lighting design, research and development, lighting consultancy, and related industries, where a deep understanding of illumination optics is vital.
