Development of optoelectronics in Politehnica University of Bucharest

Optoelectronics is facing with an ever dynamic increasing in our lives. We feel a growing demand for specialists in design and operation of optoelectronic systems. In accord with this demand Politehnica University of Bucharest (PUB) has introduced optoelectronics curricula since 1992 year. The theoretical courses are covered by laboratory activities, to provide the students with actual experience of optoelectronic systems. Some experiments are presented in this paper. To get a good efficiency of experiments, the student should study Laboratory guide manual, before entering the laboratory. PUB in collaboration with SPIE organization is intending to develop an integrated optoelectronics laboratory for education ofoptoelectronics specialization students with the following principles: define the educational goals and experimental laboratory courses to fulfill the objectives, design the instrumentation and systems to enable practical, experimental investigation and measurements; elaboration of experimental algorithms and laboratory guide for students, which include exercises and problems with responses connected with real world of optoelectronics specialists demand. This paper focuses on the presentation of laboratory courses that would be developed a meaningful understanding of optoelectronic devices, and systems.
