Description (max. 300 characters):

In this EVA after a theory introduction about optical fibers, the peculiarities of the  materials used in fiber production,
an Ytterbium-doped preform will be produced.
The preform will be drawn to a fiber with the participation of the students. The Fiber will be characterized (NA, BG losses etc. and a fiber laser will be buit from it.
Contents and Learning Objectives:

- Optical materials for fiber production;
- Techniques for the production of preforms;
- Optical basics for the characterisation of opt. fibers;
- Brief introduction into fiber lasers
- Experimental techniques 

At the end of this course the students will know the basics of optical fiber production and fiber handling
