Examination of thyme leaves grown under different spectra

2023-05-26T09:48:36+02:00

Nowadays artificial light is often used in horticulture. Proper light composition may have significant impact on plant properties, important from the consumer's point of view. Based on experimental cultivation of thyme, examination of thyme leaves grown under different spectra was performed. Transmissive spectra, colorimetric properties, dry mass yield as well as biometrical properties (shape of leaves) were determined. Attention to the issues of energy efficacy of light sources was also paid.

Temperature dependence of optical fiber current sensor with external conversion

2023-06-18T09:24:17+02:00

The paper presents the research of a optical fiber current sensor with external conversion (OFCS-EC) as a function of temperature. The sensor was developed in the Department of Optoelectronics. The sensor was tested in the temperature range from 23 °C – 80 °C. For each of the temperatures, the sensitivity was determined on the basis of a sinusoidal waveform. Thus, the linearity of the transfer characteristics was checked. The main purpose of the experiment was to check the limits of sensitivity changes in changing thermal conditions and whether the sensor meets the standards used in the power industry.

Optics and Photonics as a strong and resilient field for a successful career development

2023-06-23T06:26:44+02:00

When compared to other enabling technology fields such as Electronic Engineering or Computer Science, Optics and Photonics stands out to be by far the oldest field of research, and yet the one still standing today at the forefront of research, consumer electronics, transformation industry, communication, health, biotech and many more. From solving the mysteries of our universe to the development of the latest smart phones and the fastest internet lines, the field of Optics and Photonics has proven over and over to be at the cornerstone for everything we take for granted today. This field has been associated with many successive market booms, and sometimes also bubbles, but the underlying technology build by its exceptional engineers never gets wasted or lost, providing valuable key building blocks to fuel the “next big thing”
