- Introduction to intensity sensors, formation of attenuation in optical fibers, measurement of attenuation, construction of intensity sensors.
- ntroduction to polarization sensors, polarization of light, polarization in an optical fiber, measurement and evaluation of changes in polarization.
- Light-skin interaction, thermal effects of laser radiation.
- Colors and their influence on people.
- Use of fiber optic sensors in biomedicine, special fiber optic biosensors: polymer and fibers, tapering, microstructured fibers, pH sensors, etc.
- Data processing from optical and fiber optic sensors: signal filtering, application of advanced processing methods.
- Overview of practical applications of optical and fiber optic sensors in biomedical practice.
Exercises:
Introductory familiarization exercise, work safety in the laboratory. Further theoretical exercises focused on work with evaluation applications of interferometers, spectrum analyzers (interrogators), temperature DTS system and polarimeter. A total of six laboratory tasks. Two continuous practice tests.
Laboratory tasks within the course:
- Interferometric vibration measurement, perimeter security.
- Pressure measurement with a fiber grid.
- Measuring the magnetic field with a polarimeter, test no. 1.
