                The course aims to realize selected experimental setups, carry out particular measurements and improve student's experimental skills in the fields of optical communications and photonics in general.
                 
                The course will deal with particular experimental tasks important within the following fields: semiconductor sources, photodetectors, optical fiber communications, integrated optics, single photon generation and detection, quantum optics, ligh-matter interaction. Student will gain hands-on experience with necessary measurement techniques and experimental methods.
