EE480 (Version: 2017 1) COURSE DETAILS


COURSE TITLE EFF YEAR EFF TERM DEPARTMENT CREDIT HOURS
EE480 OPTICAL FIBER COMMUNICATIONS 2017 1 Electrical Engineering and Computer Science 3.0 (BS=0.0, ET=3.0, MA=0.0)
SCOPE
The study of fiber optics provides insight into the enabling technology of the global Internet and modern day telecommunications. This course develops understanding of the devices and key components that comprise a fiber based optical communications system. Students will develop an understanding of the fundamental properties of optical fibers and the principal components required to exploit this medium. Topical coverage of the fiber medium includes modal fields, attenuation, and dispersion for both single mode and multimode fibers. Several device types will be studied to include transmitters, receivers, multiplexers, amplifiers, specialty optical fibers, and selected state-of-the-art components. Software tools and measurement equipment will be used to characterize fiber and device properties. The course culminates with students designing, building, and characterizing a fiber optic communications link.

SCOPE
The study of fiber optics provides insight into the enabling technology of the global Internet and modern day telecommunications. This course develops understanding of the devices and key components that comprise a fiber based optical communications system. Students will develop an understanding of the fundamental properties of silica based fibers and the principal components required to exploit this medium. Topical coverage of the fiber medium includes modal fields, attenuation, and dispersion for both single mode and multimode fibers. Several device types will be studied to include transmitters, receivers, multiplexers, amplifiers, specialty optical fibers, and selected state-of-the-art components.
