Tutorials:
First introductory tutorial, work safety in the laboratory and safety operation with laser beam in the free space.
Five laboratory tasks during semester.
One tutorial is reserved for tests during semester and spare laboratory measurements.
The last tutorial in the semester is reserved for spare test if some students need it.

Laboratory tasks:
1) Measurement of laser radiation wavelength by difraction grating.
2) Measurement of artificial atmospheric phenomena influence on communication parameters of optical fiberless systems.
3) Measurement of fog influence on laser beam.
4) Measurement of laser beam shape changes due to turbulent environment.
5) Measurement of spectral and time properties of light radiation sources.
