| Aim: Principles and methods of optical measurements enter into many Danish industrial products. Also, optical measurements are used in a broad range of applications from fluid mechanics through chemistry, environmental monitoring to medico techniques. The course aims at giving the student a broad understanding of principles of optical measurements, both theoretical and in practical applications. The course is designed both for the coming project supervisor in instrument development and for the user of advanced optical measurement equipment. The main goals are understanding of the physical background for optical measurements and their limitations. In addition, knowledge of a number of practical applications and planning and execution of advanced measurements. |
| Contents: Overview over optical measurements of mechanical, thermal and other quantities. Physical background including light sources, detection of light, analysis of noise and fluctuations in detector signals. Principles including measurements of distance, velocity, vibration. Methods using white light, interferometric methods, holographic methods and speckle interferometry. Fibre optics and fibre optical sensors. Doppler velocimetry and particle image velocimetry and methods using molecular scattering phenomena. Finally, processing and presentation of data and uncertainties in optical measurements. |
