Institute of Physical Engineering

The knowledge of engineering and applied optics is expected.

Completion of the course is conditional on having attended all exercises according to the schedule and submitted all reports in at least sufficient quality. The course classification reflects the assessment of the reports, the quality of preparation and of laboratory works.
Completion of all exercises specified in the selected course option according to the instructions of the tutors is obligatory.

The goal of the course is to teach students the basic methods of the optical measurement including the measurement of optical elements and to familiarise students practically with the implementation and accuracy of interference, diffraction and microscopic methods.

Students acquire knowledge and skills necessary for designing of optical systems, measurements and observations.
Students experience experimental work in a team, gain the competence to apply theoretical knowledge during the practical measurement and to present the results of their work in a written form.
