This course discussed component and system concepts in optical communications and its application. Course Objectives:
To give students and understanding of the theory of optical devices and systems and their application in optical communication networks.
Learning Outcomes:
On successful completion of this module the learner will be able to:
Identify the main parameters of laser diodes, optical fibre, and optical receivers that effect the performance of optical communications systems
Analyse the equations that explain the modulation of an optical carrier with electrical data signals and apply these equations to determine the maximum modulation rate that can be attained
