You are invited to a completely free course on symmetry optics. Learn from these 7 lectures, also available as notes. Also, download the companion code and do your own calculations.
You’ll learn how to compute many-slit interference, and you’ll learn about the remarkable structure of the critical planes. As you interrogate the concepts of symmetry optics in your own individual way, you might reach insights that no person has ever reached before.
