Electrical Engineering 118

Title Introduction to Optical Engineering
Units 3
Prerequisites 20 and 40.
Description Basic principles of digital and analog optical communications and optical networks. Emphasis is on principles of optical links, including channel capacity, basic limitations due to noise processes, and bit error rate requirements. Optical amplification, the detector-receiver, optical fiber and free-space propagation, the transmitter, and modulation schemes. Coherent and incoherent communications and network systems. Basic optical Fourier transform signal processing techniques.
