OTDR optical path analyzer
Šimková, Barbora ; Tomašov, Adrián (referee) ; Dejdar, Petr (advisor)
The aim of this master's thesis was a theoretical analysis of OTDR issues, analysis of OTDR device components, as well as basic parameters of this device. The thesis also includes a theoretical analysis of reflections, scattering, and various types of connectors. In the practical part, a circuit design for OTDR measurement was developed and subsequently implemented. The circuit was realized using the Red Pitaya development board and Koheron laser. Additionally, a circuit for direct method measurement was also created. In the LabView development environment, a program was created, including a graphical user interface. A laboratory task was also designed to provide a basic understanding of OTDR measurement issues.

Seismic activity measurement using fiber optic sensors
Vaněk, Stanislav ; Horváth, Tomáš (referee) ; Vojtěch, Josef (advisor)
The aim of master's thesis is to get familiarized with the problems of measurement and analysis of seismic waves. Theoretical part deals with the description of seismic waves, especially their types, sources and properties. Attention was afterwards focused on the measurement systems of these waves, emphasis was placed on their principles and advantages. The practical part discusses methods of noise reduction and highlighting of significant events in measured data. At the end, individual methods are implemented into user-friendly graphical interface.

Realistic Rendering of Atmospheric Phenomena
Sabela, Ondřej ; Karas, Matej (referee) ; Vlnas, Michal (advisor)
The aim of this thesis is to develop a GPU accelerated computer program which is able to simulate light scattering in the Earth's atmosphere and clouds using the simplest possible combination of various realistic rendering techniques. A detailed explanation of the physical and phenomenological background of the basic characteristics of both solid and translucent materials is included. Physically based rendering methods which are able to simulate such phenomena are presented along with several optimizations, including precomputation and lookup tables, with a focus on functional fidelity to real-world principles. The presented solution is based on data from real-world microphysical measurements. The resulting outdoor scene images can be used as background environment maps in 3D modelling and design software. The open source code can also serve as a starting point for describing the implementation of the presented rendering techniques.

Distributed optical fiber sensors
Hynek, Jiří ; Šifta, Radim (referee) ; Münster, Petr (advisor)
Nowdays, optical fibers are one of important parts of computer networks, especially for their ability to transfer information for long distance. This thesis doesn´t utilize optical fibers as carriers, but as sources of information, specifically as sensors intended to detect physical effects acting on the optical fiber, which is usually used for telecommunication purposes. Linear and nonlinear properties of the fiber are used to gain information about acting effects on the optical fiber.

Distributed measurement of acoustic vibrations and temperature
Bukovský, Jan ; Záviška, Pavel (referee) ; Münster, Petr (advisor)
This work deals with the problem of vibration and temperature measurement using standard telecommunication optical fibers. The main focus of this work is on the measurement of these parameters with distributed acoustic sensing systems (DAS). In this work are also discussed the issues of vibration and temperature measurement with distributed strain and temperature sensing systems (DSTS), with distributed temperature sensing systems (DTS) and with interferometric systems. As part of this work, measurements were made in the laboratory with a commercial DAS system. During these measurements, vibrations and temperature changes around the fiber were simulated. Several methods of data processing have been proposed to evaluate the measured data. The proposed methods of data processing and evaluation of the measured data can be found in the last part of this work.

The Identification of Substances in Real Samples Using Portable Raman Spectrometer
HRDINA, Richard
The title of the thesis: The Identification of Substances in Real Samples Using Portable Raman Spectrometer The portable Raman spectrometer Ahura First Defender is a device designated for identifying unrecognized solid and liquid substances. The aim of this diploma thesis was to test the efficiency of the portable Raman spectrometer First Defender and to draw up a draft of the methodology for its manipulation. The objects of the investigation were the accuracy of results and collection of findings coming out of measuring tests using the device mentioned above. The introduction part briefly describes problems of chemical monitoring within Fire Rescue Service of the Czech Republic. As a partly solution of the problems could be the use of the portable spectrometer First Defender. Further are described problems of sampling and possibilities of sample detection through means of chemical reconnaissance. As next, there is described the device itself including the principle of Raman effect that allows the device to identify unrecognized solid and liquid chemical substances. The practical part explains the procedure and the way of applied measuring tests when using the device. The results are summarized in charts and the percentage of successful performed tests analyzed in charts. Findings concerning the manipulation with the device, methods for sample modification and the influence of sample matrix on the identification of selected chemicals in observed samples are introduced in the discussion. Professional knowledge and experience were used to draw up guidelines for the identification of substances in real samples conceived as general informational source describing procedures, rules, and recommendations. Upon all outcomes and findings, there was confirmed the hypothesis of greatly beneficial using Raman spectrometer in Fire Protection Units when identifying unknown substances at places of intervention at the end of the thesis.
