Fundamentals of Optical Communication
This course discusses modern fibre optics communication systems. The major topics to be covered are as follow: the analysis of optical transmission media, including multimode and single mode technology; bandwidth limitations imposed by dispersive behavior of fibre; modified fibre profiles for third generation fibre communication systems; solitons; semiconductor laser diodes; external modulation; PIN photo diodes and avalanche photo detectors; bandwidth and noise limitations; optical amplifiers; semiconductor laser amplifiers; doped fibre amplifiers; optical receiver and transmitter circuits; quantum limited receiver performance; BER performance; optical communication networks.
