    The goal Introducing the students to the components, systems and techniques of signal transmission in modern optical communication. Familiarizing with the propagation of electromagnetic waves in planar waveguides and optical fibers, dispersion theory and signal attenuation in the fiber, the theory of optical sources and photodetectors, and designing the optical links.
    The outcome Students should understand the principle of operation of the physical layer of modern optical broadband telecommunications networks and be able to design an optical link with intensity modulation and direct detection. The knowledge gives basis for further development regarding the principles of operation of optical networks and components needed for their implementation.
