Course Description

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.

Course 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.
