Optical Communications
Offered By: Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur via Swayam
Course Description
Overview
Optical communications is a frequent elective/core course offered to third/final year undergraduate students in Electrical Engineering. This course offers a gradual approach to optical communications with emphasis on latest developments in coherent optical communications. Starting from a broad introduction to transmitters and receivers, this course covers optical fibers and waveguides, lasers, detectors, optical amplifiers, channel impairments and their mitigation using signal processing algorithms. Matlab models will be discussed.
