LEOT-349 - Fiber Optic Communications

4 credits

This course will present the principles and techniques associated with the transmission of optical radiation in fiber and free space. Topics to be discussed include: optical communications components, sources, detectors, assemblies and modulation techniques. Homodyne and heterodyne detection will be discussed, as well as the design considerations for optical communications systems. The lab will give students hands-on experience using state-of-the-art optical equipment.
