In this paper, the content of two laboratory courses developed at the Department of Electronics of the Technological Educational Institute of Crete, Greece, focused on optoelectronics and optical communications, respectively, is presented. Both of these laboratory courses were developed with the philosophy of introducing a research-oriented approach. Emphasis is given on hands-on experimentation. In such a way, students get a better understanding of the various theoretical concepts (generation of light through single mode continuous wave lasers, transmission of optical power, etc.), and become able to analyze and solve problems associated with photonics components and their integration to optical systems. Coupling of experimentation and research is facilitated with a Marie Curie EU-funded grant for the establishment of a Centre of Excellence via the transfer of knowledge in the scientific area of optoelectronics and lasers. Our approach is presented by referring to specific laboratory exercises, such as the experimental study of a variable optical attenuator developed for research purposes, the development of an X-ray high power x-pinch optoelectronic device, etc
