Abstract
Physical optics education is already an indispensable part in optics education, because of the fact that more and more optical devices are designed, and naturally, are working based on physical-optics principles. Various physical optics effects and phenomena, although being covered in certain textbooks, they still turn out to be difficult to fully understand, due to the disconnection between the purely theoretical blackboard derivation and the completely practical laboratory observation. One way to overcome that, in our opinion, is to employ VirtualLab Fusion – physical optics software – as a bridge connecting both sides. Light is represented as vectorial electromagnetic fields in VirtualLab Fusion and it provides an easy access to the visualization and analysis, leading to a convenient understanding of the nature of light, without loss of any preciseness. With its help, we will demonstrate several physical optics effects as well as their applications in modern optics industry.
