1.
Outline
The development speed of internet technology during the past several decades is remarkable, and the ubiquitous society becomes general for all people. Everybody knows "net" which means internet. But, optical transmission system which contains optical fiber and related devices are not well known. In this class, the basic technology of the optical fiber system are explained. This lecture corresponds to DP4.
2.
Objectives
Students will understand that optical fiber system has 3 major items such as optical fibers, light sources, and light detector. And for long distance transmission, amplifier and recovery signal systems are indispensable.
Students will understand both of optical physics and optical fiber transmission function.
3.
Grading Policy
Two tests 40% (20% each time)
Final test 60%
4.
Textbook and Reference
Reference book
『光ファイバ通信のしくみがわかる本』ISBN4-7741-1436-7

5.
Requirements (Assignments)
The text are placed on the web. Students should select some keywords in every lecture. And read the applicable point of the textbook for 1-2 hours. Carry out the exercises for 30 mins to an hour.
6.
Note
Students must bring their own scientific calculator.
7.
Schedule
1. Abstracts; optical fiber and its system
2. Optical physics; rectilinear propagation of light. Diffraction and interference

3. Structure of the optical fiber
