Fiberoptic networks IS-FEE-10007

The principle objective of the course is to familiarize the students with the basic topics of fiberoptic networks: components, operation, measurements and design. Teaching and training skills of calculations necessary to analyse and design fiberoptic networks.
General aspects of fiberopic networks. Network topologies. WDM networks. Passive and active components of the network. Noise and SNR. Dispersion. Non-linear effects. Chosen issues of design, contructing, measurements and operation of fiberoptic networks. Basic calculations in fiberoptic networks: energy budget, dispersion, SNR, ORL.

Requirements:
Students should have basic knowledge in the field of mathematics, electrical physics, circuit theory, digital and analog electronics, fundamentals of computer science. The general requirement is that student has studied engineering for at least 2 years. In some cases prerequisites are defined.
