Admission information
Description
This Lab Course offers a hands-on introduction to the physical properties of the components of optical communications systems, as well as their simulation and optimisation using a commercially available photonics system design software (OptiSystem by Optiwave).
In the first lab sessions, the basic components of optical transmitters and receivers are described and analyzed. The second and third sessions deal with modulation schemes and devices. The fourth and fifth sessions that follow treat optical fibers and their linear and nonlinear effects. In the concluding session, the design and optimization of fiber amplifiers is discussed.
Note : Attendance in first class is compulsory, otherwise the place would be forwarded to the next in the waiting list.
