Issued topics of Doctoral Study Program

  1. Fibre optic diffractive gratings with nonperiodical structures

    The focus of the thesis is to optimise the design means of preparation of the nonperiodical optical diffractive structures in the fibre waveguides aimed to the construction of the sensors and spectral filters. The thesis will utilise and show the design and verification of the necessary modifications of the present mask based fibre grating exposition systems to allow for the exposition of the diffractive structures by use of the interferometric method. Forming the LP nonperiodical structures will be experimentally shown and acquired features compared to the Bragg grating features. The design model for forming the desired functionality grating is expected to be composed. The means for the control of the grating properties and for the fast evaluation of the spectral changes of the nonperiodical diffractive structures will be designed and experimentally verified.

    Tutor: Urban František, doc. Ing., CSc.

  2. Higher-order circuit elements: basic research, modeling, and simulation

    The substance of the thesis is a research of basic rules and principles acting in the systems, containing the higher-order elements from Chua's periodical table of fundamental electrical circuit elements.The final aim is revealing these regularities as forth as it enables an adequate inclusion of these elements into the current circuit theory. The secondary aim is finding models of these elements and their potential utilization in SPICE-family simulation programs for implementing software experiments, and also a construction of their hardware emulators for supporting laboratory experiments.

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

  3. Reliability od Solder Connection for 3D systems

    Reliability Soldering Connection of SMD components in thermoechanical loading deternine.

    Tutor: Šandera Josef, doc. Ing., Ph.D.

  4. Tilted fibre optic gratings for sensor applications

    The focus of the thesis is to optimise the design and parameters of the optical diffractive structures in the fibre waveguides aimed to the construction of the sensors and spectral filters. The design and optimization will be concentrated to the elements based on the tilted gratings functionalities. Thesis will explore experimentally the spectral and polarisation features of the Bragg and Long Period diffractive fibre gratings related to the tilt, index variation and period count. The thesis will show the design and verification of the necessary modifications of the present mask based fibre grating exposition systems to allow for the exposition of the LP structures.The experimental results will be used for forming the design model for the desired functionality grating. The means for the control of the grating properties and for the fast evaluation of the spectral changes will be designed and experimentally verified.
