The goal		Introducing the students to the special types of optical fibers and other optical components. Operating principles, measurement techniques, classification, and calibration of optical sensors. Gathering experience in practical work with different optical sensors. Building expertise in solving problems necessitating optical sensors through the realization of projects.
The outcome		The student understands the operating principles of optical components, knows their classification, and has experience with the optical measurement techniques. Student is capable of assessing when it is optimal to use optical sensors within the measurement system, and which sensor fits the application. The student can construct an optical sensor prototype and fully characterize it.
