Course Description:
Five generations of fiber-optic communication systems described in detail. Technical advances and increased capability of each system. Historical framework of how technical capability at the time forced technical decisions. A systems engineering point of view, emphasizing optimization of all components of the optical fiber link. Description given in syllabus: The introduction of optical fiber based communication systems has increased the transmission capacity of information links by 1000 times. The background leading up to the remarkable revolution in our communication capability will be reviewed. The five generations of fiber-optic communication systems will be described in detail, focusing on the technical advances and increased capability of each system. This will be done in a historical framework showing how the technical capability at the time forced the technical decisions. The presentation will be from a systems engineering point of view, emphasizing the optimization of all the components of the entire optical fiber link.
Course Objectives:
To introduce optical fiber based communication systems that have increased the transmission capacity of information. To introduce five generations of fiber-optic communication systems, focusing on the technical advances and increased capability of each system.
