Course Description

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.

Course 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.
