Fiber optic refractometer instrument used for measurement practicing in applied photonics courseware

This paper presents development work to design multimedia courseware: applied photonics. This courseware is based on: 1) multimedia document about the basic theory of applied photonics; 2) simulation and measurement supporting multimedia programme package able solving selected CAD and CAE problems in applied photonics. As special application of practical session Web-based interactive fiber optic instrument is described in details.
