Members of the Chapter come from different faculties of Lublin University of Technology (LUT) and Maria Curie Sklodowska University (UMCS). Among us there are electronic engineers, computer scientists and chemists. Until now we have created a structure containing two workgroups: Fiber sensors Fiber transmission The experiment concerning light conductivity of water
Laboratory activities We have every week meetings during which we discuss and work on projects. We have succeeded in implementing one of them into practice and also weekly oral presentations have been introduced this year. Presentation about optical fiber
In workgroups: - Preparation and realization of project concerning amplitude sensor of tension. FOTON participate in many conferences and science initiatives. 31 May-5 June 2005- IEEE-SPIE Wilga Symposium on Photonics, Electronics and Web Engineering; we had four oral presentations entitled respectively: AFM investigation of sol-gel layers for optical fibres sensors (Chodkowska Eliza UMCS), Technologies of all-optical network in METRO (Magdalena Gradkowska, mgr inż. Mariusz Kalita, Lublin University of Technology), Flame spectrum emission based measurements (Popiel Piotr, Lublin University of Technology) High speed optical wireless transceiver for in-door local area networks (Tomala Tomasz, Lublin University of Technology). 5-27 November 2005- Ogolnopolska Konferencja Studenckich Kol Naukowych in Warsaw -we took part in conference and some meetings organized by students organizations from other faculties. We met many interesting people which who we still cooperate with. It gave us a lot of new opportunities. 1 December 2005 - Symposium of scientific students organizations from Lublin University of Technology- the activities and future projects of our chapter were presented; we took part in a meeting with the authorities of our university.
