Fiber-Optic Communication Systems and Techniques

Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur and NPTEL via Swayam

This course may be unavailable.

Overview

Recent years have seen an exponential increase in demand for large bandwidth and high data rate applications. This is fuelled by rapid advances in fiber-optic communications which includes introduction of digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms combined with coherent detection. A thorough grounding in optical fibers and fiber-optic communications is necessary to communication engineers to address future needs of high data rate communications. Fiber-Optic Communication Systems and Techniques provides solid background in wide ranging topics of fiber-optics. The topics covered include modes of optical fibers, impairments in optical fiber channel, lasers and photodiodes, optical amplifiers, WDM components, and digital fiber-optic communications. Several latest advances in DSP for fiber-optic communications is emphasized.
INTENDED AUDIENCE: All UG students interested in fiber optics, optical communications, and digital signal processing algorithms in fiber-optic communications can take this course. Professionals looking to refresh their knowledge on fibers and fiber-optic communications can take this coursePREREQUISITES: Fundamentals of Electromagnetic theory, Principles of Communication Systems, Programming in MatlabINDUSTRY SUPPORT: Sterlite Technologies, Infinera, Comsol India, Matlab, Texas Instruments, Defense labs etc will be interested
