Learning outcomes/competencies

The aim of the module is that the students are qualified to plan, setup, conduct and successfully complete scientific or industrial-driven projects. Therefore, the students use the (physical) understanding of the process in question, derive and realize a solution with their necessary engineering skills and document the results properly
Module contents

Projects may include design of laser systems (solid-state, gas, diode lasers with ultrashort-pulses, tunability, lownoise frequency-stabilization) as well as conceptual setups in photonics and fiber technologies. One of the major topics is planning, management and conduction of a project
from idea to realization.

The excursion to the fair "LASER World of PHOTONICS" in Munich is part of the course 5.04.4671 - Tools in Advanced Photonics.
