| Contents of the course | ||||||||||
| Lectures | 1. Basics of lasers and laser radiation characteristics. 2. Types of lasers (Ruby, Nd-YAG, He-Ne, CO2, Ti-sapphire, dye lasers…) 3. Laser diodes. 4. Doped optical fibers as amplifiers and lasers. 5. Trends in the development of lasers. 6. Laser components and accessories. 7. Distance measurement and dimensional control (range meters, markers, 3D scanners). 8. Laser instrumentation and measurements (speed, angular velocity, vibration, deformation ...). 9. Holography - methods of obtaining and applying. 10. Inertial plasma confinement and thermonuclear fusion. 11. Lasers in telecommunications. 12. Laser spectroscopy (LIBS, LA-ICP-MS, LIDAR, pollutant diagnostics). 13. Application of lasers in chemistry (influence on chemical reactions, separation of isotopes) 14. Surface treatment by laser (welding, cutting, melting...). 15. Application of lasers to biology and medicine. | |||||||||
| Examples/ practical classes | Introduction to the lasers used for different applications. Experimental exercises will be adapted to the topic of laser application that can be realized at the faculty. A visit is planned for those institutions that have laser systems for different applications. | |||||||||
