Course Content
|
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to fiber optic communication systems. Topics include the fundamental principles of light propagation in optical fibers, fiber types and structures, optical sources (LEDs and laser diodes), photodetectors, optical amplifiers, passive and active optical components, wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), system design and link budget analysis, optical network architectures, and emerging technologies in fiber optic communications. Laboratory sessions complement theoretical concepts through hands-on fiber splicing, connector handling, and optical power measurement exercises.
