The aim of this course is to provide students an introduction to optical communication engineering and optical networks. After the course, students are expected to have basic knowledge about the fundamentals of optical communications and networks, including system analysis techniques, architecture, implementation and performance issues, limitations and possibilities of different optical communication technologies.
The course starts with reviews and brief introduction of probability theory and communication engineering. The theory of optical technologies, including components of optical systems and networks, and fundamentals of optical transmission engineering are then discussed. We also discuss about the essential design, architecture and performance issues of optical networks.
