Synopsis:

The main task of the subject lectures is to explain the principles of operation of the optical devices, optical integrated circuits for different optoelectronic systems including application of the systems. In great detail are discussed the devices for optical communication and sensor application. The lectures treat important measuring methods and design methods and present practical experiences for design of the optoelectronic devices and integrated circuits and measurement their properties.
