CEOC 400 OPTICAL COMMUNICATIONS
This course has been designed to demonstrate the elements that drive the growth in optical communication systems. Students thus begin with a foundation and working principles of modern photonics concepts/terminology, major opto-electronic devices/components, optical fiber wave guiding, fiber transmission characteristics, optical communication systems, and device measurement/handling. Detailed coverage of important optical fiber and free space networks for future communication applications and the integration of both the facilitating technologies and the networks that result, are being considered. Specialist knowledge of the strategies and techniques involved in the design and implementation of optical communication systems is also being aimed at through this course.
