FEKT-MOSEAcad. year: 2015/2016
The course deals with types of optical fibers, optical fiber manufacturing, construction fiber optic cable, connecting optical fibers and cables. Further theoretical issues of optical transmission networks. They are discussed in the optical access network, optical transport network, the global network for multiplexing optical transmission, measurement and monitoring of optical telecommunication networks.
Learning outcomes of the course unit
The student will be able to:
- Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different types of optical fibers for information transmission,
- Connect welding optical fibers,
- Become acquainted with the deployment of different technologies in networks,
- Be able to design a local optical transport network
- Acquire knowledge in deploying broadband technology in optical networks,
- Acquire knowledge of the problems of WDM - Wavelength multiplexes
- Acquire knowledge of networks: FTTx (fiber to the building, home, etc.)
- Acquire knowledge from measurements on optical fibers,
- Get the orientation of the problems of distortion - Dispersion (CD - Chromatic, Polarization - PMD),
- Acquire knowledge of sight optical networks.
Profficiency is required on the Bachelor's degree level. Students should have the knowledge of signal transmission. Some basic knowledge in the area of transmission of binary signals and be able to tackle distortions in the transmission. It is recommended for the completion of the course Transmission media, taught in the second year of the bachelor program.
