COURSE DESCRIPTION:

In this course students are introduced to the fundamentals of optical information transfer methods which are in the foundations of the recent generations of modern high bit-rate communication networks. The course deals with the fundamental physical processes on which elementary opto-communication devices base, as well as physical processes that have influence on the operation of a optical link.

WHY THIS COURSE?

This course unites the knowledge acquired throughout basic courses like Fundamental of Physical Electronics and Electromagnetics, and extends them so that they give foundation for understanding of the physical layer in the modern optical communication systems. By taking courses Optical telecommunications 2, Design of active photonic integrated circuits, Design and characterization of passive photonic integrated circuits, students round up their knowledge of optical communication systems and their role in the modern communications.
