Optical fiber communication is one of the greatest technological inventions of mankind in the twentieth century. It is not only the foundation of international communication networks and the broadcast and television networks, but also the cornerstone of almost all network services and applications. Without the support of optical fiber communication, even the most advanced computer, switch, router, or data center can only be solitary network nodes. Any kind of networks will no longer exist. Most popular network applications such as the Mobile Internet, Big Data, Cloud Computing, Internet of Things, Vehicle Networking, Machine Learning, and Virtual Reality may be phantoms in the sky. People may still live in the Stone Age of the Internet.
In our Optical Fiber Communications course, you will learn the fundamental principles, key concepts, and important methods in optical fiber communication systems. Furthermore, you will be familiar with some critical parameters that affect system performance. Also, you will be required to master and understand the principles and technical means for system designing and optimization. Learning of this course will lay a solid foundation for subsequent studying and technical work in related communication fields.
