Course detail
FSI-TIOAcad. year: 2024/2025
The course Optical Engineering focuses on the introduction to the aspects of lasers, their basic types and potential applications. The discussion starts from the basics of radiometry and photometry and ray transfer matrix analysis. Then, the theory of Gaussian beams and their generation, propagation and transformation is dissected. Finally, the main core of the course deals with the laser resonators and amplifiers. Individual types of lasers are introduced together with their implementation to modern applications.
