| Summary |
|---|
| The aim of this course is to acquaint students with the use of optical fibers not only as a communication medium but also as a element suitable for sensory use. The subject is oriented on practical applications in the industry related with projects solved by research group OptiCE (for example Transportation, Safety, Energetics, Biomedical applications) |
| Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
|---|
The understanding of the basic processes and principles of fiber optic sensors and their deployment in industry and biomedical applications.
Students obtain practical skills in assembling, controlling, and evaluating outputs from sensors. Students also obtain abilities to work independently with associated devices.
