I'd like to teach myself a home optics lab course covering the same material
as a college optics lab course. That takes, among other things, equipment and
a syllabus. Any idea of how much that would cost and how to obtain it at that
price? One advantage of doing it on my own is that I can set my own pace.
The other is that I have unlimited access to the lab. Building the apparatus
myself is not an option.

Allen:
For lab optics like lenses, prisms, lasers, and light sources I like
edmund scientific.
For opto-mechanics to hold the elements and position them I like thor
labs.
A more applied book or two are: Jenkin & White Fundamentals of Optics,
for more engineering oriented check out Modern OPtical engineering by
Warren Smith or Geometrical Optics and Optical Design by Mouroulis &
MacDonald.
If you tight on budget but have lots of time go to 2nd hand stores and
buy old optics products like cameras, lenses, projectors, binoculars,
telescopes, etc and take them apart and learn about the components,
then use them to build something new. Check out the do it yourself
DIY forms online too.
Enjoy,
Michael
