ECE 444 Introduction to Fiber Optics
Fundamentals of fiber optic communication and sensor systems are discussed, including a mathematical description of light propagation within dielectric waveguides. Optical fiber fabrication, attenuation, and dispersion mechanisms are considered, and optical sources, detectors, and connectors covered. Advanced topics include specialty fibers, coherent communications, WDM, solitons, optical amplifiers, and fiber optic networks. Lecture.
