课程内容简介(Course Introduction):

This course mainly includes two parts. Part I：introduce the basic analytic methods of optical wave transmitted in waveguide or fiber, fiber mode theory, signal distortion in fiber, optical transmitter and receiver. The main purpose of this part is to master the fundamental knowledge of waveguide optics and fiber-optic communications. Part II: introduce the frontier research progress in fiber-optic communication including modulation formats, high-speed transponder, optical amplifier design, optical signal processing, passive optical network and optical switching etc. The main purpose of this part is to master the research frontier and latest progress in waveguide optics and fiber-optic communication fields.
