<HTML>Optical Communication Systems will be offered at U of O in January (winter) for graduate students.
ELG 5103 (92.521) Optical Communication Systems
Optical communication system concepts and basic characteristics. Optical transmitters. Optical detection. Optical noise sources and their mathematical models. Noncoherent (direct) detection: system model, direct detection of intensity modulation, application of photo-multiplication, optimal post-detection processing, and subcarrier systems. Coherent detection: heterodyne receivers, the field matching problem and receiver performance. Optical binary digital system, single-mode binary and heterodyne binary systems. Block coded digital optical communication systems: PPM, PAM, PSK, and FSK signalling. Integration of device technology and system architecture. Selected topics in optical communication networking.
Prerequisite: ELG 5119 or 94.553, and ELG 5375 or 94.554, or the equivalents.</HTML>
