Instrumentations and Applications - Study line
Photonics: Instrumentations and Applications
This technological specialization line is aimed at students with interrests in the instrumentation and applications of optics and photonics. The suggested courses include the understanding of optics and photonics, how to design, construct and characterize optical systems for various applications, and how to acquire data and carry out signal processing. The competences prepare you to work with optical communication systems, illumination and lighting systems, to work with various types of laser systems, optical sensors and measurement systems for a variety of applications. These applications could be, spectroscopy, biophotonics, medical diagnostics and optical metrology within many other engineering disciplines.
The following programme specific courses are mandatory for this technological specialization line.

Proposed study plans
Three examples for study plans are listed below.
Note: 34046 is available in January and should be completed as early as possible.
The course 34043 is available in both spring and fall - In this case the third semester is suggested.
Students with advanced innovation competences may replace the course 42500/42501/42504 wtih one of the courses 425002/42503/42505 - see the Curriculum.
