【Master's program・1st semester】
19-3-1554-4480

1.
Outline
The aim of this graduate seminar is to master the investigation technique of prior art through some case studies.
Specifically, we learn and discuss the following.
(1) Basics of optical fiber communications.(for preparation of the case studies)
(2) Investigation of prior art on your master thesis subject.
2.
Objectives
The goals of this course are to
・ be able to illustrate basics of optical fiber.
・ be able to investigate prior art, and then be able to explain precisely about the survey method, and results of the survey and some approach to solve various problems in prior arts.
3.
Grading Policy
30% Report on your investigation
70% Participation in discussions
4.
Textbook and Reference
Reference will be posted on the course website.
5.
Requirements (Assignments)
In your investigation, you should make a habit of always taking notes (esp. approach and results), even if the result of your approach was not what you expected. This ‘precious’ note will be a great help, when you create the report on your investigation.
6.
Note
The most necessary thing for graduate students is to develop the habit of thinking by themselves.
7.
Schedule
1. Guidance
2. Components of optical communication systems
3. Nature of light 1 (reflection, refraction)
4. Nature of light 2 (interference, coherence)
5. Nature of light 3 (phase velocity and group velocity)
6. Nature of light 4 (polarization)
7. Multi-mode Optical fiber
8. Single-mode Optical fiber
9. Propagation characteristics of Optical fiber
10. Introduction of my study 1 (Characteristics of a single-mode fiber beyond the cutoff frequency of the LP11 mode)
11. Dispersion and dispersion-shifted fiber
12. Optical communication system 1 (transmitter, receiver and repeater)
13. Optical communication system 2 (loss-limited transmission distance, dispersion-limited transmission distance)
14. Introduction of my study (An ultra-low power consumption tunable laser diode module using a micro Peltier module as a temperature controller)
15. Presentation (Investigation on topics of recent optical technology)
