Explores coherence and interferometry principles, including statistical optics, autocorrelation functions, and optical coherence tomography applications.
Explores emissivity, absorptivity, and reflectivity of surfaces, including spectral and directional properties, laws of reciprocity, and practical examples.
Explores specular view factors and radiative exchange between partially-specular gray surfaces, including energy transfer rates and non-gray surface exchange.
Explores radiative heat transfer equilibrium between walls and isotropic scattering medium, optical thickness, Monte Carlo method, and analytical solutions.
Covers the derivation of formal solutions to the Radiative Transfer Equation and discusses isotropic scattering, optical thickness, and Monte Carlo method applications.
