Optical
Communications
The challenge
- Fiber optic networks, Applications and their requirements.
Building blocks - Fibers, couplers and taps, Tunable
filters, Laser diodes, Lightwave amplifiers, Modulation
and demodulation of optical signals.
Architecture - Organizing the system topologically,
Layered architectures, Multi-access, switching and
performance.
Realization - third generation links, third generation
multipoints, third generation networks.
