This course introduces the fundamentals of Optical Fiber Communication and its role in modern communication systems.
It covers optical fiber principles, waveguides, transmission characteristics, losses, and dispersion mechanisms.
Students learn about optical sources, detectors, fiber couplers, connectors, and splicing techniques.
The course explains optical receivers, sensitivity, noise, eye diagrams, and coherent detection methods.
Optical amplifiers, including EDFA and semiconductor optical amplifiers, are discussed in detail.
It also introduces optical networks, SONET/SDH, and WDM concepts with applications in high-speed communication.
