Brief

This is a basic introductory course of current optical fiber communication system. In this course, you will learn the basic concept of optical fiber, some selected fiber devices, and optical communication systems, including Wavelength-Division-Multiplexing (WDM) system, analog CATV system, and optical networks. This course will focus more on the physical la<x>yer design of optical fiber communication systems. Some basic and frequently used optical network protocols will also be introduced. This course is suitable for seniors and graduate students who are interested in both communications and electro-optics and would like to pursue further studies on the physical la<x>yer of optical communication systems and devices.
