Synopsis:

The main aim of the subject lectures is to explain the principles of operation and application of the modern optical devices and systems. The subject treats the optical waveguides, sources and detector of the optical signals and devices to control optical beam. The optical integrated circuits and measuring methods for optoelectronics are discussed, too. The other part of lectures treats the optical display structures, optical signal processors and circuits for the transmission and processing of the optical signals.
