Aims

To show the technical solutions and the ways of development in the photonic, optoelectronic and optical fibre technologies for fibre and free space communications, optical measurement and sensorics. The focus is aimed to the telecommunication trunk systems, LAN, MAN, optical measurement and the industrial control and surveillance systems. To give the technical and application knowledge on lasers, coherent and noncoherent semiconductor optical sources, on photodetectors and optical receivers, on the novel solutions, components and systems using the nonlinear optics, wave multiplex, coherent optics, optical amplification, filtering, and dispersion compensation in optical fibres. To bring the understanding of the principles and features of photonic elements, waveguide and fibre structures in sensorics and give the grounds for the design of optical fibre systems in communication, sensing and measurement applications.
Attendant is able to orient himself in the design of optical communication systems, knows to compose the optical communication chain from the suitable components and fitted to the application. The attendant is able to select optimal solution, components and blocks for building up the the optical communication chain. Attendant is oriented in the applications of optoelectronics and photonics sensoric and measurement systems.
