Col. Ph.D., Eng. Janusz Mikołajczyk
Janusz Mikołajczyk is a graduate of the Faculty of Electronics at the Military University of Technology (WAT), specializing in optoelectronic devices. As part of an individualized study program, he focused on information and measurement systems. He began his research and teaching career at the Department of Electronic Measurements at the Faculty of Electronics WAT in 2000. His initial scientific work dealt with control systems, acquisition, and signal processing. At the same time, he participated in projects in the field of optoelectronics, including the construction of a scanner for observing thermal objects, low-noise detection systems, a laser-plasma source with a gas target for the purposes of nanolithography and metrology. The result of these efforts was receiving a collective distinction and a diploma from the Minister of Science and Higher Education.
Dr. Janusz Mikołajczyk completed scientific internships at the Max Born Institute for Nonlinear Optics and Short Pulse Spectroscopy in Berlin and at the Czech Academy of Sciences Institute of Physics in Prague. Since 2003, he has been working at the Department of Optoelectronic Systems at the Institute of Optoelectronics WAT. He conducts research in advanced methods of optical signal detection and their applications, including in object protection, telecommunications, detection of thermal objects, explosive materials, contamination, and diagnostics of radiation sources and detectors. The culmination of this work was his doctoral dissertation defended in 2006, entitled “System for measuring the energy of extreme ultraviolet radiation pulses at a wavelength of 13.5 nm emitted from a laser-plasma source.” His scientific output includes over 80 publications. In the framework of his educational activities, he teaches courses on standard signal sources, optical sensors, fundamentals of optoelectronics, optical signal detection, and metrology. He has supervised several final theses and diploma projects. He has been recognized by the Dean of the Faculty of Electronics and the Rector of WAT.
