Optical Communication

This document outlines the aims, objectives, and units of study for the course EC1402 Optical Communication. The course aims to introduce optical fiber modes, configurations, signal degradation factors, optical sources, detectors, and their use in optical communication systems. It also aims to discuss digital transmission and parameters that affect system performance. The objectives are to learn about the basic elements of optical fiber links, modes, losses, and signal distortion. Students will also learn about optical sources, receivers, noise effects, wavelength-division multiplexing, and concepts of SONET/SDH networks. The course is divided into 5 units covering topics like introduction to optical fibers, signal degradation, optical sources and coupling, fiber optical receivers, and digital transmission
