Introduction

Singapore has been completely wired up by fibre optic network for broadband transmission of voice, video and data. The objective of this  course is to get familiarize and understand the different types of fibres used  in optical network; understanding the light propagation principles, type of  optical sources and detector. In addition, the power budget and  bandwidth budget calculation will be discussed to estimate the link  performance. 

This course is part of:
- Graduate Certificate in Information and Telecommunication Engineering
FlexiMasters  in Information and Telecommunication Engineering

On completion of the course, the learners should be able to:

1. Select typical fibre types used in commercial fiber optic networks;
2. Select the LED/laser diode, PIN/APD for suitable optical network and;
3. Make designs for short haul metropolitan network to long haul undersea intercontinental networks.
Understanding the light propogation in fibres

Various types of fibres, and the propagation principles and refractive index profiles descriptions

Selection of system components like laser diode/LED, PIN/APD receiver
LED and laser diode operating principles, PIN and APD receiver specifications and absorption mechanisms

Link budget specifications
Power budget and rise time budget procedure for the given fibre, and selected source and detector

Design samples
Design examples will be discussed with few case studies

For aspiring engineers and Information technologists who wish to improve their  knowledge and skills in the broad area of communication engineering.
