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.

Written exam - tasks related to topics of seminars.
Oral exam - discussion over selected topic.
Active participation in seminars. Absence will be compensated for by writing an essay on the given topic.

The aim of the course is to create a complex overview of the laser technology. The course provides theory of lasers, description of laser beams, lasing action and laser amplification. Moreover, different types of lasers are also discussed together with their utilization in modern applications, from research to industry and clinical applications.

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.
