Supervisor: prof. RNDr. Miroslav Liška, DrSc.  
Supervising institute: ÚFI all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
The aim of the course is to create a complex overview of the coherent optics. Applications of modern optics: laser interferometry and anemmometry, electro-optical and acusto-optical modulators and deflectors, optical non-destructive testing, optical processing.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Light trajectory in the gradient environment. Relation between coherent length and spectral width of radiation. Physical principles of laser working. Open propagation and Gaussian pack transformation. Optical anisotropy. Use of the electro-optical and acusto-optical effects. Holographic interferometry. Spectral Interferometry. Coherent optical correlators.
Prerequisites:
Students are expected to have the following knowledge and skills when they begin the course: the theory of the electromagnetic field, the geometrical optics, the wave optics and the basic methods of the optical measurements.
Course contents:
The course "Optical Engineering" deals with the aspects of optics and is based on the new trends and recent results in applications of modern optics for solving engineering tasks. The main aim of the subject is focused on the following areas: transmission and evaluation of optical information, elements of special optical
measurement systems, non-destructive measurement techniques, holography, optical correlation and spatial filtering, crystal optics, electro-optical and acousto-optical elements, lasers and their selected applications.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Written exam, solution of the selected tasks.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Active participation in seminars. Absence will be compensated for by writing an essay on the given topic.
