| Summary |
|---|
| The subject aims to apprise students with the use of fiber-optic and optical sensor systems in biomedicine. Students get to know the basic principles of the function of selected optical and fiber-optic sensors suitable for measurements in biomedicine, their construction, application, and advanced methods of signal processing. |
| Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
|---|
| The subject objective is to explain the basic processes and principles of selected fiber-optic and optical sensors and their practical applications in biomedicine. Students will be able to design, apply, and solve practical tasks in biomedical engineering using the sensors mentioned above. |
