Pulse Generator for Φ-OTDR in VPI photonics
Čučka, Milan
The paper focuses on Φ–OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometry) systems which need short time duration and high powered pulses for proper function, because the backscattered signal is weak for proper detection. The article includes a simulation of the signal generator for Φ–OTDR sensoric systems in simulation software. Designed generator allows to try pulses, with different time of duration, pulse repetition frequency and power. The article also includes scientific notation of backscattered signal and a short description of the used systems.

Verification of stable next generation networks via transmission parameters measurement
Gregor, Lukáš ; Čučka, Milan (referee) ; Grenar, David (advisor)
This thesis deals with the measurement of transmission parameters in the new generation access networks NGA. The aim of the thesis is to build and configure a test network and scenarios for the measurement of service quality parameters and then verify the transmission stability. The theoretical part describes general functioning of NGN networks, the requirements of different telecommunications services on quality parameters, methodology and recommendations for measuring transmission parameters in packet networks. The practical part deals with the configuration of scenarios using mainly MPLS technology and methodology of their testing. Measurements were performed according to recommendations IETF RFC 2544, IETF RFC 6349 with the ExacTCP test and ITU-T Y.1564 with the EtherSAM test. For measurements were used measuring instruments of EXFO brand. In conclusion, the measurement results according to the mentioned standards were evaluated and also the advantages of using the measurement according to the given standard in NGA access networks were discussed.

Longitudinal index structures in optical fibers
Polreich, Štěpán ; Čučka, Milan (referee) ; Urban, František (advisor)
This thesis describes basic concepts, principles and properties of optical fibers. Considerable part is devoted to fiber gratings that are created by a change in the refractive index in the optical fiber core. In this work is described description, principle, method od production and distribution of gratings on Bragg gratings, gratings with long period and chirped gratings. In this thesis are also presented different types of lasers and their advantages over other lasers. A large part deals with the description of the femtosecond laser, with which the structures will be later made into the material. In addition, the laser modes are differentiated, this is a mode of micro-machining and modification or a change in refractive index of the material. The last part deals with change the refractive index in planar technology, the creation of a groove for fastening the fiber and attempts to write the gratings into the optical fiber. Created fiber sensor are tested for temperature and tensile changes. Finally, the practical use of sensors made by femtosecond laser and the advantages over UV laser and phase mask techniques are presented.
