The goal | Introducing students to specialized types of optical fibers and other components used in fiberoptic (FO) sensor development. Introducing students to operating principles, measurement techniques, classification, and calibration of FO sensors. Gathering experience in practical work with different FO sensors. Building expertise in solving problems necessitating FO sensors through practical projects. | |||
The outcome | The student understands the optical components used in fiberoptic (FO) sensors, knows their division, and has experience with the optical measurement techniques used in industry and science. Based on this knowledge, the student can assess when to use FO sensors within the system and which sensor fits the application. The student can construct a FO sensor prototype and fully characterize it. | |||
