Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcomes of UE
The objective of the course is to provide a description and a physical explanation of passive and active components present in a optical communication system: optical fibres, passives optical components, lasers, photodetectors.
Content of UE
Introduction and general concepts; Propagation in optical fibres: waveguiding (ray and electromagnetic approaches), dispersion, attenuation, polarization effects, Rayleigh / Brillouin / Raman scatterings, nonlinear effects, application: monitoring of a fibre link using an OTDR; Passive optical components: generalities on components, couplers, isolators and circulators, optical filters, Fibre Bragg gratings; Lasers and detector: generalites, semiconductor laser diode and photodetectors.
