Programme code: W4-S1BF19.2025
Semester: summer semester 2027/2028
Language of instruction: Polish
Form of verification: course work
ECTS credits: 3
Purpose and description of the content of education:
The purpose of the module is to familiarize the students with experimental techniques use to refine the surface of optical lenses. During the course, the student will acquire theoretical knowledge and practical skills related to the application of various coatings (hardening, anti-reflective, hydrophobic, functional layers) on the top of the organic and mineral glasses using techniques such as dipping, spin-coating and physical vapor deposition.
List of modules that must be completed before starting this module (if necessary): not applicable
