Course content
Content of lectures: Light sources; light detectors, dispersive elements for optical measurements (gratings, prisms, monochromator, spectrograph); measurements of absorption and emission; vibration and Raman spectroscopy (measurements of small quantities of substances in water, purity of liquids, identification of substances); interferometry (measurements of thickness, surface quality, velocity, distance); microscopes and telescopes; imaging; photographic optics Content of practicals: Practicals supporting the lectures

Learning activities and teaching methods
unspecified
Learning outcomes
The goal is to provide basic knowledge of various types of measurements that employ optical methods. During introductory lectures, basics of light sources and detectors are given. This knowledge is then used to demostratte various types of optical measurements, includign imaging techniques. Theory is supported by practical demonstrations.
