The field of fiber optic communications is rapidly expanding to satisfy the demand for increased bandwidth in telecommunication and data communication networks. This course covers the basic communication system, fundamentals of light waves, fiber optic theory, optical fiber wave guides, light sources, light detectors, optical coatings, distribution systems, modulation, noise, and detection. Other topics discussed include optical components such as amplifiers, filters, modulators, multiplexers, and couplers. No previous experience in fiber optics or optical communications is assumed.
