Course Objective

Students will be able to recognize the usage requirements for the optical communication system, and apprehend optical communication principles. The properties and types of fiber-optic cable, the parameters that affect the transmission of optic signal, and materials for the optical transmission will be explored.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To explain the basic criterias required for the reflection and refraction of light.
2   To explain the number of modes that exist depends on the dimensions of the fiber-optic cable and the variation of the indices of refraction of both core and cladding across the cross section. The various modes include multimode step index, single-mode step index, single-mode graded index and multimode graded index.
3   To apprehend the propagation and attenuation of optical transmission line and the properties of light-sources and sensors.
4   To be able to select the elements required for system design.
5   To be able to recognize the parameters such as modulation and multiplexing.
