Issued topics of Doctoral Study Program

  1. Evaluation of optical spectrum in fibre optic systems for communications and sensing using controlled diffractive fibre optic elements

    Implementation of fast and inexpensive methods for performing the optical spectrum analysis in fibre optic systems for communications and sensing is crucial for many new applications of photonic signal transport and sensing principles. The goal is to analyse principles, set the technical requirements , design and verify fibre optic systems for optical spectrum evaluation based on the controlled diffractive fibre optic elements. Works are expected to be focused to establishing the suitable methods of controlling the properties of the fibre optic diffractive elements using the uniform and local mechanical stress load and using the mechanical stress travelling waves. The thesis will contain the theoretical analysis of the designed fibre spectrum evaluations and modelling of critical fibre elements behaviours. Experimental verifications of the designed fibre systems are expected

  2. Mem-systems of memristor type

    The research subject consists in developing the theory of mem-systems with a view to memristive, memcapacitive, and meminductive systems, their modeling, simulation, and emulation via analogue and digital tools. Other topic deals with searching for suitable applications of memristors, memcapacitors, and meminductors in the area of analogue signal processing.

    Tutor: Biolek Dalibor, prof. Ing., CSc.

  3. Models of transmission channels for microwave and wireless optical systems

    A present day high-speed wireless communication systems are based on optical and microwave frequency bands usage. Their reliability and availability are largely affected by atmospheric conditions (rain, snow fall and fog). Due to the difference of the wavelength used, the combination of both the systems offers very reliable communication tool, because more reliable transmission channel can be chosen according to the atmospheric conditions. The aim of the project is investigation and modeling of the transmission channel in view of both the systems, determination of the link availability and transmission capacity of combined link and finding of algorithms for an optimal allocation of data flow. A number of measurements on real communication systems and statistical evaluation of measured data will be included in the project.

  4. Optical gratings and grating arrays for fibre optic systems

    Target of the topic is the design of the suitable fibre optic grating systems for forming and evaluation of the radiation patterns in the fibre based sensing and communication systems. On top of composing the numerical model blocks for individual and superimposed gratings, grating cascades and chirped gratings, it is essential to create the behavioural models for the analysis of gratings with phase and amplitude corrections and models for the analysis of Fabry-Perot, Michelson a Mach-Zehnder fibre interferometers allowing the arbitrary combination of diffractive fibre elements. Using the above modelling shall lead to the design and experimental verification of the fibre setups for efficient forming and evaluation of optical signals in singlemode and multimode fibres
