      The goal Introduction to laser radiation characteristics and possibilities of laser applications in measurements, material processing, telecommunications, medicine, microscopy, spectroscopy, laser cooling, military technology, and optical data storage. Acquiring experience in the application of laser light in holography.
      The outcome The student knows the characteristics of laser radiation concerning power, wavelength, polarization, and mode of operation. The student knows the possibilities of laser applications in different fields of technology and science and can determine and apply the optimal laser for a specific application. The student acquired basic knowledge in holography, a broadly applied field reliant on lasers.
