Subject syllabus

- Construction and characteristics of LEDs and LDs.
- Effect of temperature on electronic components and definitions of terms.
- Heat removal from electronic devices, cooling by radiation, conduction and flow, forced flow (fans), and
natural (chimney effect).
- Photodetectors for the visible and invisible optical spectrum.
- Photodetector as a sensor, measuring temperature, distance, vibration, and motion detection.
- Optical materials, filters, diffusers, sensors.
- Optical fibers (plastic, glass, special) and their properties.
- Fiber as a sensor, material composition, and modern approaches to the production and subsidization of optical
fibers.
- Theory of 3D printing, printing methods, and properties of printing materials.
- SW solution for 3D printing - 3D model design.
- HW solution for 3D printing - the issue of converting a 3D model to a printer (vertical and horizontal constraints, supports, and fillings).

Exercises:
Introductory familiarization exercise, work safety in the laboratory.
Exercises focused on developing a project in the field of application of materials in optoelectronic devices. Two continuous practice tests.
