This lecture covers the basic elements of optics theory, wave optics, the Airy disc, limits to demagnification, Huygens' construction, edge diffraction, and the limits to focusing light. It also discusses the performance of lenses in Fourier transforms and provides examples of edge diffraction through refraction.
