Grazing incidence interferometer for form measurement of hollow cylinders
Šarbort, Martin ; Řeřucha, Šimon ; Holá, Miroslava ; Lazar, Josef
Optical metrology of cylindrical specimens represents an interesting task in scientific and\nindustrial practice. The most precise measurement methods use principles of laser\ninterferometry where the phase difference between the reference wave and the object wave reflected from the tested surface is detected. The form measurement of hollow cylindrical tubes can be advantageously realized by an object wave with conical wavefronts generated by an axicon lens or an equivalent diffractive optical element. An axicon characterized by large apex angle forms a conical wave that fulfills the conditions of the grazing incidence, which results in suppression of the speckle noise. The previous experimental setups were relatively complex since they involved a pair of mutually reversed axicons or a pair of diffractive optical elements that transform the object wave from planar to conical and vice\nversa.

Distributed fiber optic sensors
Holík, Tomáš ; Čučka, Milan (referee) ; Münster, Petr (advisor)
The thesis deals with the possibility of using optical fiber as a sensor. The introduction of the thesis is devoted to the foundations of optics. In addition, the thesis deals with optical interferometry, polarization and dispersion in optical fiber. The main output of the thesis is the comparison of acoustic vibration measurements using interferometric and polarization methods and further measurements on the real route in Brno.

Interferometrical system for bulge test thin film characterization
Pikálek, Tomáš ; Holzer, Jakub ; Tinoco, H.A. ; Buchta, Zdeněk ; Lazar, Josef ; Chlupová, Alice ; Náhlík, Luboš ; Sobota, Jaroslav ; Fořt, Tomáš ; Kruml, Tomáš
Behavior of thin film materials undergoing stress and deformation differs from bulk materials. A common method for the mechanical characterization of thin films is nanoindentation based on indenting a small tip into the material. A different approach is a bulge test technique. In this method, a differential pressure is applied on a free-standing membrane and the mechanical properties (Young’s modulus and residual stress) are calculated from the shape of the bulged membrane. In our experiments, we developed an interferometrical system for the membrane shape measurement during the bulge test.

SMV-2017-22: Development of a multiaxis interferometric system of coordinate measurement
Holá, Miroslava ; Lazar, Josef ; Hucl, Václav ; Čížek, Martin
The aim of the project of the contractual research was development of a multiaxis interferometric system for coordinate measurement. This system make possible to contactless measurement of displacement in axis x, y with compensation refractive index of air. The emphasis was placed on with high accuracy and repeatability measurement on nanometre level for wavelength 633 nm. Part of the contractual research was development and realization driving system for detection of signals. We used homodyne detection system. The measurement system was tested in laboratory and then was installed in the aim system.

Observations and modeling of classical Be stars
Klement, Robert ; Korčáková, Daniela (advisor) ; Jones, Carol Evelyn (referee) ; Votruba, Viktor (referee)
The brightness and proximity of many classical Be stars makes them perfect laboratories for studying the physics of astrophysical disks. They are also among the most popular targets for optical/IR interferometers, which are able to fully resolve their circumstellar disks, to which much of the recent progress in our understanding of these enigmatic objects is owed. The current consensus is that classical Be stars eject material from the stellar surface into Keplerian orbits, thus forming a disk, whose subsequent evolution is governed by turbulent viscosity, which is the basis of the so-called viscous decretion disk (VDD) model. Among the main results of the present work is arguably the best-constrained model of a particular Be star β CMi. The VDD predictions were confronted also with radio observations, which allowed for the first determination of the physical extent of a Be disk. This result subsequently led to the detection of a binary companion, which is truncating the disk by tidal forces. Extending the sample to include five more targets led to revealing a similar outer disk structure in all of them. The range of explanations includes the most plausible scenario, in which the truncation of Be disks by (unseen) companions is much more common than previously thought.

A pair of phase-synchronized semiconductor lasers for length metrology
Hucl, Václav ; Holá, Miroslava ; Čížek, Martin ; Řeřucha, Šimon ; Pham, Minh Tuan ; Pravdová, Lenka ; Lazar, Josef ; Číp, Ondřej
Semiconductor lasers are increasingly widespread in areas that have been so far dominated by He-Ne lasers. One of such areas is the length metrology, where He-Ne laser operating at 633nm wavelength is still a traditional source of coherent light for laser interferometers distance measuring. The advantages of semiconductor lasers compared with He-Ne laser are greater optical power and a significantly wider range of wavelength tuning without mode jumps. Another advantage is the possibility of frequency modulation of wavelength of the laser diode by directly changing the injection current. The benefits predetermine these laser diodes for the realization of dual-frequency laser sources for heterodyne interferometry. In this case, using a phase-locked loop technique the optical frequency of a laser diode is locked to the optical frequency of another laser diode with a certain frequency offset in the MHz order. In our contribution we present utilization of DBR laser diodes in implementing a dual-frequency laser source for laser interferometry with heterodyne detection.\n

Automated Procedures for Coherence Controlled Holographic Microscope
Dostál, Zbyněk ; Štarha, Pavel (referee) ; Jákl, Petr (referee) ; Chmelík, Radim (advisor)
Coherence-Controlled Holographic Microscope (CCHM) and a Fluorescence Holographic Microscope (FHM) were developed particularly for quantitative phase imaging and measurement of live cell dynamics, which used to be a subject of digital holographic microscopy (DHM). CCHM and FHM in low-coherence mode extend capabilities of DHM in the study of living cells. However, this advantage following from the use of low coherence is accompanied by increased sensitivity of the system to its correct alignment. Therefore, the introduction of an automatic self-correcting system is inevitable. Accordingly, in the thesis, the theory of a suitable control system is derived and the design of an automated alignment system for both microscopes is proposed and experimentally proved. The holographic signal was identified as a significant variable for guiding the alignment procedures. On this basis the original basic realignment algorithms were proposed, which encompasses the processes for initial and advanced alignment as well as for long-term maintenance of the microscope aligned state. Automated procedures were implemented in both microscopes unique set of robotic mechanisms designed and built within the frame of the thesis work. All of the procedures described in the thesis were in real experimentally proved at real microscopes in the experimental biophotonics laboratory. In addition, the control software, which contains the needed automated procedures, was developed for FHM.
