Learning outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, students will gain advanced theoretical and practical knowledge and skills in the field of analysis and synthesis of optical communication systems, as well as optical signal transmission in the free environment. It focuses on deepening knowledge in the use of optical radiation for information transmission and its most common applications in various fields.

Course outline

1. Introduction to the theory of optical networks (basic terms and history of the development of optical networks). 2. Theory of optical access networks (topologies, variants and methods of access networks, ITU-T and IEEE recommendations). 3. Passive elements of optical access networks. 4. Active elements of optical access networks. 5. Multiplexing techniques for high-speed communication systems. 6. Basic components used in xWDM systems and networks. 7. PON networks with xWDM wavelength division. 8. First generations of PON networks according to ITU-T and IEEE. 9. Current generations (10 Gigabit) PON networks according to ITU-T and IEEE. 10. Future (100 Gigabit) generations of PON networks according to ITU-T and IEEE 11. Construction and diagnostics of PON networks. 12. Security in PON networks.
