Category	Professional-applicative
Scientific or art field	Telecommunications and Signal Processing
Interdisciplinary	No
ECTS	5

Educational goal:

The educational goal of the course is to acquire fundamental knowledge about the design of optical communication systems. Students will become familiar with the principle of work optical components, the criteria for selection components depending on the performance of the optical system, as well as the calculations of the optical power budgets of the entire optical communication system.

Educational outcome:

Students will learn the theoretical knowledge necessary to understand the basic principles of optical systems. They will be trained in the calculation of the power budget of optical networks, which can facilitate the development of the skills of designing and potentially obtaining a license for the design and implementation of telecommunication networks and systems.

Course content:

Causes of attenuation and dispersion during the transmission of a light signal by an optical fiber. Dispersion compensation in guided optical communication systems. Designing optical communication systems and familiarization with system components. Optical transmitters (LED and laser as a light source). Optical receivers (different types of photodiodes for light signal detection). Classification of optical fibers and selection based on application. Power budget calculations for different network topologies. Access optical networks (passive and active optical networks). Basic principles of Optical Wireless Communications (OWC). Four important aspects of OWC systems: (a) fundamental principles, (b) classification and design of transceiver devices, (c) modulation, detection and coding techniques, (d) channel models and system performance analysis. Application in 5G and 6G communication systems: challenges, solutions, and current trends.

Teaching methods:

Lectures and computer exercises will be carried out on the blackboard. During the course, students will be encouraged to actively participate, as well as to work independently. There will also be field teaching, a tour of current construction sites that are in the process of carrying out work related to the implementation of optical networks. Performing simulation experiments in MATLAB. Examples of software-defined radio (SDR) implementation of basic optical wireless communication systems.
